What's the best way to make sure my vote gets counted?

[NightWatcher]

I am looking for the best way to make sure that my vote gets counted (in Florida). Should I vote early, vote at the poll on Election Day, or send in an absentee ballot.

I want to vote on Election Day, but I'd also like to volunteer as a poll watcher to check for iregularities at the polls.

8. You can check at your Sec of State's website. They list the equipment

by county most of the time.

I walk my absentee ballot into the polling place myself. We use OpScan here.

If your precinct votes on a touch screen, I'd sign up for an absentee ballot and walk it in. If your precinct votes on OpScan, you could just vote on election day and have as good a chance of being counted.

3. i'm getting ready to move out of florida...right before the election...

9. But don't mail it in. Walk it in and watch it go into the bucket. :-)

5. Unfortunately, the true answer is probably "vote republican."

If I had the option, I think I'd choose early voting, however. I have to vote absentee, and I've never really felt as if it was actually counted. Just a gut feeling.

7. I live in Florida and I like the absentee ballot...

it definitely makes voting easy and it does leave a paper trail.

But, unfortunately, the election can still be stolen. More people will use the computers than the absentee ballot system.

10. I live in Palm Beach County Florida

so I know what I am up against AGAIN!! I am requesting an absentee ballot for the paper trail and hoping for the best! They are missing thousands of votes from last weeks general election. I can only imagine what's going to happen in November!
