14513: No Voting Issue

In New York, we still use the "old fashioned" mechanical voting machines. Reliable, functional, solid, non-controversial. And the poll workers are friendly, polite, helpful. As always, voting was a purely easy & pleasurable activity in New York. Turn out has been pretty high, probably in the 70-80% range.

I arrived when it opened at 6AM. I usually arrive to vote at this time and am among the first to vote. But today I was surprised to arrive with 30 voters ahead of me. Many were fairly young. By the time I left, the line was even longer. Incredible. Read More »
