ban or astroban? (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 16:04 (seventeen years ago)

ditto

Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 16:06 (seventeen years ago)

Pen and paper, but I had to cast a provisional ballot as I wasn't on the rolls at my polling place. I don't understand why not, since I voted there in 2004 and haven't changed my address with the city. But okay, I guess.

Pen (fill the arrow) but several weeks ago when absentee voting at City Hall first started.

I had to fill the arrow. On one of my lines, the pen mark was too faint, so I had to go back over it, which made sort of a double-line. I knew that was unacceptable, so I had to request a new ballot and do the whole thing over again.

The polling place had two electronic touch-screen machines set up, but nobody used them in the time I was there.

touch screen - though it also showed me the printed version of my ballot and let me approve it before it was officially submitted

scantron-style form with a sharpie

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 17:31 (seventeen years ago)

i am so paranoid that i went to the polls w/ my wife, change of address confirmation for DL, polling place notice and voter registration confirmation printed-out from the internet.

i got left off of the polls in 2000 because my fifteen-letter last name was too exotic for the registrar to understand.

If all else fell through, was your wife your last form of identification?

In Philly, you get to vote in a tent.

Old-school lever. It feels like you're really doing something, you know?

lindseykai, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 18:29 (seventeen years ago)

bic + scantron. they didn't even ask for ID!

the perfect blovian move (gbx), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 18:39 (seventeen years ago)

Black marker and scantron. They did ask for my ID but hardly looked at it. Then the weird check-in dude kept saying "Erica" very slowly at least five times. It was weird.

I am jealous of all you fancypants voters who got to use touch screens!

Good luck USA! (ENBB), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 19:37 (seventeen years ago)

I voted on one of these things. Hope everything counted all right.

Yet another failure of electronic voting.

Horrorshow lever got robbed.

Nhex, Wednesday, 5 November 2008 00:55 (seventeen years ago)

Pull the red lever to the right, tick off the check marks, pull the red lever back to the left. I couldn't figure out how to vote for the proposition though (New Yorkers?). Directions said to pull a silver lever, but I didn't see a silver lever.
