I just voted in Snohomish County, and had a couple of observations. Turnout seemed typical. I voted at 10:30 am and the voters were mostly Socialist Security recipients and mental cases (like they say, the Short Bus always stops in Everett).
I do have some concerns about the new machines. The first is, you have no way of knowing what is actually written to the chip. It could be anything, and the tech industry is not known for their ethics or support for the GOP.
Secondly, and I should have prevented this, but they didn't let me put the card into a secure drop box. I was told to hand it to the Snowy Headed FDR voter at the door. I really got a shifty feeling about this operation. I'll find my precinct # in a minute, but I do want to complaign about this to somebody. This process seems very insecure if not impossible to verify. I'm going to write the State GOP for starters. Anyone have suggestions or similar experiences.
