Gosh- what a nice thing to say about the people who take their day to help people vote.

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.

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.
