Two votes for GW from my house. Harvard's a small town, used to be GOP, but MCAS test results had yuppies discovering the town, so now it goes Lib with depressing regularity. They check you in and out on paper lists. We mark a paper ballot, then a new machine swallowed the ballot whole! Two police right there. I was expecting the old wooden box with the hand crank as in the past. Guess that's gone for good. Forgot my glasses, so they said they'd give me that plastic magnifying glass, which is useless. I squinted and did fine.

Yup. When it gulped down mine, I told the guys at the ballot box, Woop, right into the shredder. They laughed and pointing to sort of odometer on the thing, assured me that hundreds had been counted already.
I don't like a touch screen they've installed in Fla. Too easy to commit fraud, though they say they have paper records.
