Just sent the numbers off to the local paper - they mentioned the poll in the article they ran on Saturday so I hope they follow up with the numbers.

1. How did you make sure people didn't vote twice?

My fair starts this week and that could be an interesting thing to do.

2. we were very lax -

because we had so many people working the booth it would have been impossible to keep track - short of purple dye for their fingers. We let anyone at the fair vote.

I've already contacted KidsVoting USA to try to get a booth for next year so the kids can have their own and they think it's a good idea if they can get the money.

Scary - that's what the republicans did in Iowa!
