I voted today (around noon) at the Election Commission office downtown. Everything was pretty much as expected (long wait for machines, lots of paper stations available, no waiting, cheerful service, friendly happy voters). One exception: In the paper voting room, where I expected the scanner to verify that the ballot was valid, was a box (looked like it would accept the scanner on top, but scanner was missing).
So, all the paper ballots being presented were not validated at submission time. Could you follow up on this, please? (I will, too, but would like to not be the only one). --Don Ellis On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 2:39 PM, Scott Granneman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > [Feel free to forward this message.] > > No, I'm not going to tell you how to vote.
