Anecdote warning: I do not present this as evidence of anything, merely my observations when I went to go vote.
1. They had several elderly people working the polls. But not just elderly people, West Virginia elderly people. Basically, think about how slow an elderly person does anything, West Virginia elderly is orders of magnitude slower. From when I walked in the door until I walked out it took me about 40 minutes to vote...and there were only 5 people in line ahead of me when I got there. 2. Based on the number of times the voting instructions were explained (and re-explained) you would think they poll workers were explaining quantum physics. 3. More people ahead of me and behind me in line asked about how to vote along party lines than those who did not ask. I think this should be taken off the ballot. Nothing screams 'I am too damn lazy to look into the candidates' more than straight party voting. I don't think this behavior should be enabled. 4. Every time I vote, I have SAT flashbacks (we use the 'scantron' type ballots) -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
