2012 at my previous polling place was much busier but i also have no frame for reference to my new place.

not to profile but maybe saw a couple potential maga voters. no hats. only swag they had were stickers. the only person who took one, took like 30 to troll her coworker. things looking good.

it's gonna be a tale of two states

For the first time in my life, I am going to the polls and pulling the "Straight D" level. Allow me to make this abundantly clear: fuck Donald Trump

Romney won Center County by 20 votes. Hope you can help Hillary carry it.

i have never voted in philly before. the machines were new to me. kind of confusing to be honest. a large piece of paper over a some button thing with red blinking lights. then you hit a big green vote button. nothing prints out or signifies that your vote was submitted. didnt like it to be honest.

that was after getting in one line only to find out that once i got to the front that there were two locations in the same building. of course my polling place was the other location. so i had to go wait in that line. about 30 people from my initial line followed over a few minutes later. pretty chaotic. not the best at all.

oh forgot to mention there were only TWO BOOTHS at each location. Two. I mean wtf.

i've have never voted on any machine other than those kind of machines. they're very secure.

it isnt a security thing, i just was mildly confused and hope i did it right. i forgot to vote on the judge thing. if i had wanted to do a write in i would have had no clue how to do that.

I was a bit confused about this too but not for the machine itself. Because as pac said it seems very secure. However the lady was so old and was signing people in like 5 at a time it seemed and the line I thought got out of order so I have no idea if my vote was attributed to me or someone else. Oh well.

i guess schools really do need to resume teaching cursive

went for my morning run at 6am and saw the line forming. hopped in 10th in line around 640 and there were about 70 in line before the door opened. i think in off year elections about 150 people vote there the entire day.

votes and voters are not linked at any time.
