ABECK Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 7:30 this morning. It always concerns me that they don't check any ID or verify voters in any way. They just ask for your address and your name, then check you off the list. Anyone else encounter the same setup in their poling locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well okay; we use paper and pen.... So does my district in Cali. We basically had to connect two broken halves of an arrow to vote - took about 10-12 strokes of the pen for each arrow. Really no room for misinterpretation at all. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABid Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Most counties went digital in my area. The biggest complaint I have heard deals with multiple screens. For some people it was not clear that they were supposed to arrow through all the pages BEFORE hitting the vote button. They either thought you were supposed to vote on each page, or that there was only one page and some people were missing. I blame this on programming. The sensible thing would be to not enable the vote button until the last page is accessed just like they do when they make you scroll the end of a license agreement before your software will install.

RABid Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Interesting time in my area. My best friend is now a school board member. This is his first time in politics and he choose school board because so many people asked him to run. Our school board has made some horrible decisions over the past year and people want them out. We have a new mayor. The outgoing mayor has no one to blame but himself. It is embarrassing to be at a football game and have the opposition chant Your team stinks and the home crowd has to respond with Thats the sewage plant. For the first time ever both the judge exec and the sheriff are Democrats. Amazing considering the county is 75 percent Republican. The list goes on and I think people here were just tired of old politics. We finally reached a time when new and old was more important than Republican and Democrat.

Marzzz Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 There is quite a good turnout here in AZ, where you also have to show valid ID. The ballot is also huge- 4 sheets, something like 20 Propositions, including two competing non-smoking laws as well as two competing Land Trust laws (to preserve land from development).

Mark Zeger Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I made my picks just after the polls opened at 7am. We still have the "pull a lever" machines in my region. Vintage analog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Grace Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I voted today too. On a personal note, I'd like to share that a friend and former colleague of my Mom's appears to have been elected to Congress today; so on that level, it's a happy day for my family.

MusicaL Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Used electronic machines last night. Interesting set up actually with only 7 machines which people said were cumbersome and confusing. I found them easy actually. Yamaha can take the credit for that since I had to get used to the Motif's OS. The voting lines were surprisingly very long at 7:30 at night!! I wasn't out of there until around 9:00 p.m. aL Gear: Yamaha MODX8, Mojo 61, NS2 73, C. Bechstein baby grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I've had to remove posts this morning that were beginning to discuss the outcome of the election, so I'm closing this thread. I think it's served it's purpose. Thanks to all for keeping it positive. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
