Paper ballots, purple fingers. I’m sooooo there!
One of the advantages to living in a small town in Idaho.
Voting for me was over at a elementary school.
You show them your ID at the table. They confirm you are you and registered to vote. You can register on the spot if need be. They direct you to one of 2 lines—Precinct “a” or precinct “b”— cause they KNOW where you live. I was given 2 paper ballots. One for state referendums, the other for the national votathonsky.
I placed my completed ballot(s) in a locked ballot box and the kind lady yelled out “bigheadfred has voted” (the crosser outers cross you out) and gave me a nice “I Voted” sticker.
Ah, yes. Nothing bad about purple fingers either, provided the ink lasts long enough so that no one can vote twice and wears off in time for the next election (no tattooing or branding). Shame on the US for the Iraqis to have out-thought us on that!
Bring in the purple fingers, and while we're at it, get rid of early voting!!!
