Just voted here, only about a 2 minute wait. My polling place was a miracle of efficiency as always. My sympathy and support goes out to those not as fortunate...
 
Of course I voted today.

BU sadly, it will be the usual 100 Milloion folks who do. The other 100 Million need to leave the country if they don't care.

Agreed and you mean the other TWO hundred million people. What the hell is their laziness problem?
 
I just got back... and I was the ONLY ONE THERE!?

Yes, we've had early voting open for awhile down here, but the only one there? that's strange...
 
Just out of curiosity, what technology did you all use for your balloting? Mine was a paper ballot that you mark with a pen, which you then hand feed into a machine. I like the idea of having a paper ballot behind my vote.
 
Paper ballots here, with the sharpie to fill in the arrow - nothing special. Pretty quick, just about 10 minutes - I did it around 9:30am though...

ouch!
Ok, I'm glad everyone is getting out and voting and not to be turd here but let me tell you why I don't anymore.
Over the many years I've able to vote it seems like every issue I have ever cared about voting on has gotten overturned by the local politicians. I don't mean one or two things, it's been countless issues that I've been on the "winning" side and the politicians turn it around, call it an illegal ballot, sue the state, figure out a work-a-round. You name it, they've gotten their way no matter what the voters say.
It's gotten to the point that I just don't spend the hours needed to research the issues on my own (you all research the issues on your own right? You really don't want to vote to join a bandwagon I'm sure....).
I'm not lazy I'm just fine with whatever the rest of you choose(or what the politicians force on us). I know that's pretty shitty considering so many died so I'd have the right to vote but the right to vote means the right to choose not to vote.

Honestly, unless I'm dictator of the world I'm never gonna like the way things are run:beer:

In Brooklyn, it's that big thing with the lever you pull one way, make your choices with little switches, then pull the lever back the other way.
 
Paper all the way... Here in Spain we mainly use paper (even though some use electronic which I don't really buy into....).
I prefer the system we use for elections in my university, it uses paper and electronic, you choose a card that has a code, that card goes into a box wich has a electronic reader. In that way you have the fast results that electronic offers and the (in my opinion) safer paper readings......
