I just voted
I think.

The touchscreen machine gave me a few pages of confirmations, all of which were accurate, but once the "votes" are pumped out into the repuke-programmed etherbit, who the fuck really knows?

1. I voted too!
Here in Tennessee we've had the touchscreens for probably ten years. I have not seen problems with the results and I've been an election protection worker for the Dems on election day for three cycles.

One encouraging note - we waited 90 minutes to vote and it wasn't even lunchtime. In past years, I've never waited more than 45 minutes in early voting (and I always vote early so I can work election protection on Election Day). If reports from around the US are accurate, we're in great shape.

5. I did have a moment of doubt
the poll worker typed my middle name, rather than my first name, into the computer and couldn't find me. For just a moment, I felt the long, cold, bony finger of repuke election fraud lightly brushing my jugular.

Then I saw what the poll worker was doing.
