I voted this morning, with no waiting and an efficient operation. In Virginia, at least in our district, we went back from voting machines to old-fashioned, color-in-the-circle paper ballots. As a result, the election officials could set up a bunch of little booths, since all that is needed is not an expensive machine but a cardboard screen that can even be set up on tables. Consequently, we could vote without waiting. The ballots could be counted just as fast as with machines, since we put them through a scanner as we left. The voting machine is one of those high-tech solutions that are no improvement over the low-tech way.
Well, it’s 7:00 p.m. and the first polls have closed. I’m turning it over to you, in the comments. I’ll jump in too when I have something to say.
