Voted in Holland (Zeeland actually). West side of Michigan. Very red part of the state.

I was #12. By the time the doors opened at 7:00 there were over 100 people there.

One small concern:
The voting machine (run a long paper ballot through a scanner - vote by filling in ovals with a pen on the paper) wasn’t working. So they had people put the ballots in a box. I guess their plan is to run the ballots through the machine later. I’m just a little concerned because this is a pretty Republican area and I didn’t get to see my ballot go in - I’m trusting that the folks working at the poll will do it later.

Daughter and I arrived at the Olive twp precinct 7:33AM, voted about 8:15. She was #95, I was #96. When I put my ballot in the shread... er, tabulator, the number on the display was #94.

I figure we got ahead of a couple of slower people.

They now scan the drivers license and it is linked to a lap top that has the registration records. That was cool, and saved a lot of time over the paper look up system.

Our county, Clinton, did go 0 last time, I don't think that will happen this time, the joy of voting for something historic isn't there any more.

Hey, great!

I used to live in Overisel, south of Holland for the “uitlanders” who don't know Dutchland...
