I'm going right now to cast my vote, and no matter who you are voting for I hope this time we have a peaceful and dignified election worthy of the ideals of this country.
I have just returned from voting. I asked the guy collecting the votes about the strength of the turnout. He said they have collected as many votes in the first three hours as they did the entire twelve hours of the last election. I like that a lot. No matter how this turns out, it is important that the American people make the big decision, not lawyers and judges. A huge turnout will validate the result, no matter the charges that will likely be made by both parties.
tvoivozhd---I was almost the first in line, wheelchair and all. Our voting precinct (in the local volunteer fire station) is decent, no shenanigans there ever---and NO ONE other than voting officials are allowed to disrupt voting procedures in Virginia. One of the officials there offered to put the electronic voting machine in my lap if I couldn't stand up long enough. Wasn't necessary, and the machine was easy to use. I feel queasy about no paper trail or possibility of one---very easy to corrupt an electronic voting device to give wrong answers.
