I voted! Probably the last time to vote for the straight ticket in Michigan...

Voter turnout was steady at 8:15am. When I went to my booth, there were many still available. By the time I was done, all booths were full.

I am a bit suspect on how they verify voter eligibility. First, they have you sign a piece of paper and include your birthdate and address. Then, a poll worker looks at your slip and marks your name off in a book. What's to prevent someone from saying they are you? If anyone knows your birthdate and address, they can say they are you and vote. Hopefully Prop 1 will solve that.

On the voter verification, it's worse here in Mass. All I have to do is give my address and name. I don't have to sign anything. I don't even have to show an ID. My wife and I were talking in line to vote about how easy it would be vote in someone elses name.

I agree. That seems to be the best reason for supporting prop 1. To help prevent voter fraud. Besides, it would make dems HAVE to read and KNOW who they are voting for! lol

It's even worse in Wisconsin; all you have to do is mention a name, and as long as it's on the list and isn't marked off, you get a ballot. Oh, and if you're not on the registered list, just head over to the next table and produce a utility bill.
