Have you voted?

I did – bright and early. There was actually a line forming when I left. Great to see that :-)

Portsmouth still has almost all optical scanning voting machines, which I really appreciate. Considering all the problems there have been with electronic voting machines, I just can’t believe the government rushed states into buying them. Here’s hoping it’s such a wipeout for the Democrats that recounts won’t be needed.

Because really, what kind of meaningful recount can be done with an electronic machine – a computer, essentially – that doesn’t print out votes as they are cast? You tell it to print out the results again – the same results it already printed. What’s the point?

I think that unfortunately, the billions spent on new voting machines in the last few years will have to be re-spent, on machines that really work. Like this.
