The polls are open until seven freakin' thirty tonight in Ohio. I like to vote before I go to work too, but if I don't get a chance it's never stopped me.
I don't expect a hassle where I go because the Diebold machines actually worked just fine last election. Okay, I poured Holy water on them and they hissed a little, but other than that....
If voting machines are inevitable, and at this point I think they are, it's good that we get the kinks worked out by the 2008 election. My educated guess on this election is that there will be hassle and delay, but nothing really drastic. Witness the fact that some precincts went to paper ballots. They had a backup plan, which made me feel a lot better.
