    In New York, the polls opened this morning at 6 o-clock. My wife and I got up and out at 6:05 a.m. and were at the polls by 6:10. No lines per say, but we were surprised to see about eight other voters there. The whole thing took less than ten minutes. I find it amusing that New York State is still using those huge old booths with the lever selectors. I think we're the only state that still uses them. But, I've never heard of any voting complaints with the lever booths so I guess there's no reason to update.

    I think that's a charming thing to keep around. I say if they still work then why not? But, like a lot around here, I'm all for items with some history.

    When I voted last term, the ballot was an electronic doo-hickey. This year it was a cardboard box/poll thing and a paper ballot. After you completed your paper ballot at the box, you dropped the ballot into an electronic counter thing.

    I went and voted at 0800 and had absolutely no one in front of me.

    We have the Diebolt Machines and there is all kinds of Mess-ups with those machines.
    Any way I still have my I voted sticker on , So there I can complain as much as I want about the Congress and the Senate not doing anything.
