I can also report a smooth voting experience. Arrived a few minutes 
after 8:00AM, finished in about five minutes. There were a good number 
of voters there, but no real lines to speak of. Confirmation consisted 
of stating my name and address.  No ID was required.

Tables and chairs augmented the little voting stands. Probably about 
12-15 voters were marking their ballots concurrently. The optical 
scanner bleeped and incremented its counter when I fed it the ballot, 
although no feedback on my choices was given. A nice lady stickered me 
on the way out.

A friend poll-worker reported that it had been much busier an hour 
earlier and estimated that 50% of our precinct had submitted ballots at 
that point.  That's pretty impressive turnout.
