My ballot wasn't perfectly aligned with the machine, so all my pen marks were partly in, partly out of the circles. I asked a poll worker if that was a problem, she said "No."

There were about 5 Democratic booths, and only 2 Republican booths. The poll worker announced out loud , "He's a Republican", and she told me, "Go down there to the end of the room. There's your booth."

After I finished, they just matter-of-factly thanked me, and didn't even give me that little sticker that said I voted.

All the poll workers were over 60, except a young woman about 20 with a little baby who was chewing on a piece of campaign literature.
I commented to the young mom, "I feel the same way" and she just stared at me.

Definitely felt the cold shoulder.

Well, the good news is, if you use the touch screen system, you can get $40 cash back.
