I hate to discourage any Obama voters visiting, but as of 2:46pm EST, McCain has one more vote.
I think all went well at the poll station. We've switched from paper ballots to electronic touch machines. It was several steps: first you give name and address. Next, you are given a printout with your name and address, and you must sign it in front of an election official, who then escorts you to a voting machine. There, the official uses an external hand held device to activate a fresh ballot. A code from your printout is synchronized to the machine. Last, you are left alone to mark the appropriate candidates.
I voted a straight ticket. However, that did not include the Presidential candidates, which had to be selected individually. I think I did everything right. Though my little sticker looked suspicious:
Go vote as though America depended on it.

Fortunately, we here in stupid, red-neck middle america still have paper ballots that can't be fudged by hacking or chad'ding.
For my state, I will vote straight ticket, but I am hoping that some other states will vote out their RINO repubs and vote in real Repubs. Tho, guess it might be too late for that, huh.
But it wouldn't have surprised me...
Voted Sunday, we still have paper ballots, though, they have finally added the ability to write in candidates, which was missing in 2000 and 2004, and I made a stink over that.
Surprisingly, I found out that there was actually a Republican running against Dem incumbant Brad Miller. Shame on me for not looking, but, sheesh, I had heard zero about the person running.
