Voted on paper - quick and easy!
I got to my polling place around 10 AM. Expected a line, but I had no wait, none at all, though it was fairly busy. Everything was very orgainzed, someone met me at the door and directed me to the right table. Had a choice between electronic and paper ballot, and I chose paper. Hope it was the right choice. Electronic vote can be stolen/switched, but a paper ballot can be tossed in the trash. Still, I think it was safer.

Obama/Biden where the first names on the ballot, which made me happy - any little advantage is a good thing in this mostly-red district. I don't think I've ever filled in a bubble on a "test form" so carefully! Voted for Dems all the way down the list, except in races where the rethug candidate had no opposition, in which case I didn't vote. Then a few random Issues, and I was done.

Handed the sealed ballot back and told the guy to make sure it was counted. :)

Then I went and bought a lottery ticket.

Oh, and we're having beautiful weather here in central Ohio. Sunny, clear skies, in the 60's. What a contrast from the freezing rain of four years ago!

Now I'll go and try to keep busy until this evening. We've done what we can do, at this point. The rest is up to history.
