I've deided to vote early rather than vote on an electronic voting machine.

Since I live in Ohio and since Tagg Romney has bought an interest in the company that owns many of the electronic voting machines, I feel it is only prudent to cast a PAPER ballot that can't be changed!!! If you are a democrat or someone who intends to vote for the president, vote early!!! Don't give the voting machine owners a chance to steal this election.

After this election, this idea of private companies owning the voting machines must end!!! I don't care if it saves money, it jeopardizes free and fair elections!!!

I voted via mail yesterday, just because I hate the Repukes who hang out at the polls in my town, not because I'm afraid it won't be counted.

I've been to my state's website, and it doesn't say. I know that in-person voting is electronic from previous experience.
