Check-in if you were able to use paper ballots
This was my first time voting in this area so I was surprised to see them. You had to fill the dots in with a sharpie no less!
 When I was in VA Beach it was electronic and I had the "privilege" to be in line behind Pat Robertson one time, lucky me!

And instead of the little circles, there were rectangles so it took even longer to sufficiently fill them in. AND my ballot was longer than the little voting station table. Somehow I successfully completed the process.

My Supervisor of Elections is the best! He held 7am to 7pm voting every single day up through today. He offered vote by mail ballots with extended deadline and even tried to offer emailed vote by mail ballots but pRick Scott said no. There were plenty of booth tables, scanners and election workers, so no long lines. Love my Dem SOE!  |

|
Since moving here 17 years ago (from the Chicago area), we've always had a paper ballot - scanned by machine.
I was there at about 10am (voter #67) and am very anxious to see the total # of voters this time around. Usually, I walk in and am the only one in there besides the voting officials. Today, both booths (2 voter booths, woo-hoo!!  ) were occupied and I was the second in line with 3 people behind me. There weren't this many people voting in 2016!!!
Hope to God they were all voting straight Dem like I did. However, there's LOTS of NRA freaks up here, but hopefully my vote will help keep 'Snot' Walker from doing any more damage to this beautiful state of Wisconsin.  |
