Damn, I just found out I have to vote on a Diebold machine.
and this is in Lorain County, Ohio, a very democratic county. If Bush winds up doing better in this county than in 2000, people better raise hell.

some sandlewood, a crystal, and a camera.

5. I am not worried about how to vote
I am worried about who made the voting machines and the fact there is no paper trail.

6. Mine was diebold too, in Maryland
Seemed work fine, and the election assistants were helpful. I assume it recorded my vote correctly.

8. Just heard from my uncle
Apparently, they are still using punch-card machines, thank god. I still wonder why they changed my voting place though. It used to be at the fire station but they moved it to a church hall.
