This is the ID process here:
1. A sweet little old lady at the front door checked every person entering, for photo ID, and asked if this was the first time they had voted in this precinct. If they said "yes", she took their drivers license, handed it to an old guy who checked to make sure they were in the correct precinct.
2. You next handed your photo ID to another sweet little old lady, who looked you up in her files, for your voter registration card. She asked you to put down your new address if it was different from the one on the registration card. You signed your name if the information was correct, you checked the box indicating you were voting in a general election, and left that station with your photo ID and the registration card in hand.
3. You moved to the next little old lady who took your voter registration card and handed you the credit card like device that activates the electronic voting machine.
4. And voting for George Bush took less than 2 minutes...(most races are incumbant Republicans running without democrat opponents. hee hee.)
My husband and left the house at 10 AM and returned at 10:27.
"A sweet little old lady at the front door checked"
Aha! The dreaded SLOL Republican operatives suppressing the vote! Just as I suspected.
Now, where did I leave that medication...
In Chappaqua...heavy turnout..at 7:15am I was #115 out of 743 eligible voters...No Clinton sightings that early, thank God..There are two EDs in our polling place..no line in ours..65 folks waiting in the other line..guess we live on the right side of the tracks, eh?..
