Vote

It’s election day. If you’ve not voted, get out there now. Go on, I’ll be here when you get back.

I just did it myself and it was mostly painless. But those voting machines in Blount County are the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.

Do you have the new Diebold machines? We do here in Shelby County, and they’re awful.

they the one with the very counter-intuitive wheel?

That wheel is a mess. Writing myself in one of the races took forever.

No, ours are the new touch-screen machines with zero paper trail. They were also all out in the open — no curtains, no privacy. You had to use a smart card to “log in” to the voting machine, and that card may very well make it possible to trace your vote to you personally. So much for anonymity.

And because of the nature of this particular election, our ballot was fourteen screens, not including the instructions or the confirmation stuff.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
