I don't trust this early voting!!!!
Who is watching over these votes? Does anyone have access to them? Where do they go at night? Are they transported somewhere?

Are they making sure the repukes are not tunneling underground to get at these votes?

1. The machines used here in NM (no label, by the way)
have a number on the bottom, a mechanical counter. Mine went up by one when I voted, and yes, I did look.

Either the information is stored in the machine (that "vote" button at the end being equivalent to "save" on your puter) or the info goes over modem connections to a mainframe elsewhere. My guess is that the machine I used was the former, as there were no connections visible other than a power cord.

2. Vote early is great
If you have problems voting, like knowing where your polling place is, ealry voting is better. You can vote anywhere in your county in early voting, but only at YOUR precinct on election day. You can avoid machine malfunctions or long lines by picking the day you vote.

Then, HELP OUT ON ELECTION DAY!
