Sorry, I meant to specify the poll workers involved in most of the problems that get reported. Didn't mean to implicate all poll workers.

That's the rub, isn't it?

MBC, I'm surprised also but on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I expected a free for all. I don't know if that's because of the good experience I had here, but I'm not seeing as many system failures in the news as I expected. For the most part, it seems the machines have been calibrated properly. There is some vote switching, but again not as much as I expected.

And double sorry, I shouldn't imply that just because they screw up they're idiots. The can't be blamed if the correct information isn't readily available to them, or if procedures for dealing with issues aren't clearly laid out.

I'll revise to say that the entire system (or lack thereof) of running polling places is idiotic, independent of the actualy laws that govern them.

So you don't have to show ID to vote? I always have... from what I remember. Don't they need to check your address etc? So I can go anywhere and "be" someone else, give an address of someone I know and vote in thier place? Hmmmm... Am I an idiot or does that sound odd?

Lindsey Lohan is also upset that people see her as a party girl. Maybe it's that Brazillion Taxi photo......
