I just voted in Pa. ... Or did I?
No paper trail. No proof. Pushed a video screen, then a flashing button, then got waved on past laughing 100-year-old poll workers who haven't a clue of anything.
Are you done with this charade yet, America??
You have a democracy in name only.

2. McCain doesn't have any opposition
Is the GOP having a primary in PA today, too?

15. I think the point was...
Did the vote get counted at all, for the right person? It hardly matters that there's no GOP primary.

6. LOL 100 year olds
It's that way in our precinct too. I think it's the same few ladies the past century or so, and no, they haven't a clue. At early voting, I was asked "Democrat, or Republican". When I said Democrat, she questioned me..'are you sure?' I then asked about the caucus...they acted like I asked them how many miles Jupiter was. Didn't have a clue what I was even talking about.

7. I wouldn't make fun of poll workers. I'm glad they're volunteering and
have done so for so long. Their civicmindedness is appreciated by me.

Two important elements of poll watching.

12. Which makes one question the honesty and sanity of the candidates
involved, how will they secure America if they don't have the common sense to secure our election process?
