It was my privilege today to vote in College Park, Maryland for Bernie Sanders for President

12. Similar experience in MontCo,

about 10 a.m., @ a church. Smooth, few people there, but a line had formed when I finished.

'asked only for my name and address and quickly found it on the main register. She printed a receipt which I was asked to sign, verifying all the information. No identification was requested. Then I was directed to another table, given my official ballot, instructed to mark it as I chose fit in one of the booths, and then go to the mark on the floor to signal my ballot was ready to be scanned. I finished very quickly and walked to the mark on the floor in the middle of the room.

Another poll worker stood by the scanning machine and told me to insert my ballot. Effortlessly, it rolled through, and she gave me a sticker saying "I voted." I was done.

Time elapsed from the moment I entered the door until I exited: 6 minutes. As I walked out, I looked at my watch and it was 3:11 p.m. I felt buoyed by the knowledge that in all probability my vote was safely cast and would definitely be counted. Paper is the way to go, I do believe.'

I discussed the process with poll worker at scanning machine, he confirmed that the paper ballot is available should check-ups be necessary.

VERY civilized here in MD.
