2 topics for the price of one:
1) I voted in CA's Presidential Primary today even though it meant nothing. I went for the protest vote. Most you of have heard my rants about the primary process so there's no need to go into that again.
2) Voted on an electronic touchscreen today for the first time. It was cool. Very efficient as well. I wish I would've got a receipt though. I think they need to provide that. Been using the punchcard system since I registered to vote at 18. Anyway, it's nice to see 21st Century technology finally make it to Silicon Valley. 
(edit: spell corr.)

I voted on a touchscreen in Georgia today...it was pretty cool. (Side note: If you mess up your ballot with a Diebold system, you are officially a complete moron. The thing was fool-proof. Now as for what happens after you vote, who knows.) I wish I had been able to put my voter card into a box myself, though; one of the polling workers snatched it up right when I left the voting room.

I voted on a touchscreen today too. There needs to be better feedback of whether or not your action actually registered with the machine, IMO. A quick tap doesn't do it, you've got to tap and hold for a second. Pretty slick though, beats the pants off of punch cards.

I hope there is some independent groups checking this digital voting.

Obviously it was rigged.
Perhaps they figured nobody would notice that 100% of the votes went to Democrats.
I noticed.
That's the difference between smart and whatever you folks are.

I think that may well be your best post ever.
I wonder when these fancy new voting gizmos will make it to New York. I didn't get to vote in the primary, as I'm not a Democrat, but in the November elections, it was the same old booth thing with the wrap around curtain and the little levers and the big lever.
 <--- That's what our voting gizmos look like.
