Aside from the tornado, not bad at all.
I voted in the FL primary last week and it was instantaneous. I offered my Voter ID and Driver’s License and she said, “we don’t need this anymore,” referring to the Voter ID.
This is only interesting, to me, because I have previously had trouble getting a Republican ballot (not this time), but just had to stand fast and insist upon being handed a Republican ballot. This time, getting a Republican ballot was a breeze,they didn’t want my Voter ID showing me to be a registered Republican. Plus, the person at the desk was going to cross ‘my’ name off the list, even though he was a Democrat, has the same exact first/middle/last name as me, but lives 2 doors down. In the first place, how are they going to hand a ballot in the closed Republican primary to a Democrat? In the second place, how sad is it that I didn’t even know there’s a guy living two doors down with the same, exact name?
Two lessons, for me: Conservatives don’t complain about problems with ballots or machines; they stand their ground, politely, and make their vote count without calling a TV station; and, I need to find time to get outside of my house on my off time and introduce myself to neighbors down the street, even if they are Democrats, because it’s ridiculous that I don’t even know that somebody within a block has my exact same name!

Global warming. Blame Bush.
My prayers are with you and your neighbors.
