Thanks for the excellent report, the insight, and your service at the polls.

I enjoyed using the new machines, but I also enjoy pointing and clicking as you know. Everyone had best figger them out, because the President has committed 48billion to purchase more of the creatures.

A blessed day for everyone passing this way.

We had the 'newfangled' electronic touch screen machines for the 2000 Election, and, of course, for yesterday's.
Ours all are in curtained booths for absolute privacy, the worker stepping away, and cannot see what you select.

Wonderful large print machine with the Democrat candidates on the FAR LEFT - wide space with the Republican List on the - um - RIGHT!!
LOL
At the top of each was a single bar to press to vote straight party.

There were two state constitutional issues with a simple Yes or No choice, and at the very bottom, the green bar that said "VOTE" to press to finish.

The only wrinkle of which I heard was an elderly couple who tried to vote, but they were not currently registered, presenting an ancient card.

Asked politely for their address and identification, they had none of the latter - did not live anywhere in the county - and refused to give their address.
"I don't want to tell you," the man said!

Suspect they were warm bodies imported by the Dems, and they were politely refused.
Referred to the county courthouse a half mile down the road to register and return!
