I voted in PA this morning. The line was a little longer than usual, but I think it's because they went from a punch card system, to a color-in-the-dot paper system and it was taking people longer to do, and it was different than previous years.

I was voter #33 around 7:30 AM.

There really was only one "machine" and that was a scanner where you inserted your ballot after you voted. The poll worker standing at it said to another voter that the machine was not actually counting votes, but I don't know if that was true or not.

Same here...and I was voter #34 around 7:15. We also went from the mechanical voting machines to the EZ-scans. I think the machine should have been counting the votes as it accepted the paper ballots, otherwise why were the ballots bar-coded and individually numbered?

The judge said the largest turnout he had ever seen was 2004, and this day was starting our exactly the same. We needed a presidential level turnout, and at least in red southeast PA we are getting it.
