"First one at my polling place this morning. They hadn't even sworn in the poll workers. "

My informal, unscientific observation suggests a high turnout. I voted this morning on the way to work. Usually I am the 10th - 15th voter in my precinct. Today I was #24.

We changed from punch cards to an optical scan ballot. It is roughly leger size paper with two sides. One had to complete an arrow rather than fill in a box. There is an arrow pointing to each name with the center portion missing. One fills in the center section of the arrow pointing to the person one wishes to vote for.

It is a long ballot (3 columns, double sided for candidates). Expect a drop in voters between question #1 and #2.

That's the system we used. Do you live in San Bernadino County?

People should mention what county they are in when describing their voting experience, equipment, etc.
