I usually get in and get out of the voting place in 5 minutes. A little longer if I go in unprepared. for the issues. This time there were 13 other people in line and when I left there were still about 10 people in line.
I usually get in and out of there in < 5 minutes when I go in the morning. But Not today! Today I waited 25 minutes to get to the voting machine. That's not all that outrageous. Still yeesh...
Had a voting machine? Trusted it? Are you registered with a party? Did they contact you to urge you to go voting?
Yes. It’s an electronic voting machine, rather than the paper ballot. I don’t think the paper validation is a simple as it could be. In fact I don’t like that part of it. However, I do think that over all interface is a good one.
Yes, I trusted it. I could verify my vote on the screen and the paper printout showed in detail every vote I cast and it all matched what I’d seen on the screen.
Yes, I am registered to a party and not an independant. By next vote I’m likely to switch to Libertarian. We need more of a mix. This government was never meant to be a two party system.
Yes, I’m in Ohio! Of course they did! However not by phone. I only have a cell phone, my land line has been disconnected. So, I don’t have to deal with campaigners and telemarketers.
That’s a good sign though, people are concerned about what the politicians are doing. 25 minutes though, hope you had a book or something.
Didn’t meant to be nosey.
