What was the method you used to vote today?

[jorno67]

mine was the "fill in the oval with an ink pen and then feed it into the scanner" type.

What about yours? Do you trust it?

1. Mailed it two weeks ago.

The rest of you people need to hurry up already.

[senegal1]

2. ditto

[closeupready]

3. Option One - what I didn't like about this process was

it didn't give you verification of your choices after scanning - it simply read, "Thank you - your ballot has been submitted." Something like that.

Yes, but how do I know it read my ballot accurately?

Aside from that, it was pretty painless.

[TheKentuckian]

9. Same.

I'd think some receipt based on the ballot number should be possible, like enter your ballot number on a website and get the results.

I wrote in on two unopposed slots so maybe that will help.

[Ya Basta]

18. Same

n/t

[kerouac2]

21. Exactly what we said when we voted today.

But at least we have paper ballots that can be counted.

[treestar]

4. Not a touch screen but a method where you touch

or push to get the check mark in your candidate's box. Then when finished with each one, you push a big green button at the bottom. The big green button says "VOTE" on it.

[RebelOne]

5. Absentee ballot by mail 2 weeks ago. n/t

[lpbk2713]

6. Option #1, only with a pencil, no eraser provided.

Four pages.

[maveric56]

7. No lines and paper ballots. Chula Vista CA

Anyone in CA dealing with long lines?

[XemaSab]

8. Draw a line

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. Filled optical style ballot with pencil. It will be counted by hand.

[ballabosh]

11. Ours was like the fill in the oval

but you had to fill in a broken arrow (if that makes sense). It was like this. Connect the hyphens: -- -->

[Scuba]

12. Connect a broken arrow, then slide the form into a scanner so I have no idea how it was recorded.

[trof]

26. Same at my precinct in Alabama. My receipt? An "I Voted" sticker.

[Scuba]

28. My receipt was a sneer from a poll worker who I know to be a Republican (and she knows me too!).

[madokie]

13. Mine was fill in the rectangle box then feed it into the black box

I say black box because one doesn't have a clue as to what it does with the vote count. Is it accurate in counting the votes or does it count a few of the dem votes as republiCON votes.
proprietary software and all that

[dimbear]

14. Hey! We use little rectangles, not ovals.

Kind of futuristic looking. Fits.

[justiceischeap]

15. Diebold in my precinct.

I checked my votes as I went and before I submitted my vote. Everything "looked" kosher.

[frylock]

16. OTHER: mail-in ballot hand delivered to polling place

[countryjake]

22. Same here, signed, sealed, and delivered over two weeks ago!

WA is all mail-in voting now.

[Grammy23]

17. Absentee Ballot mailed a week and a half ago.

Went online and verified that they had received our two ballots (mine and my husband's) and they had recorded that it was received at the Supervisor of Elections Office last week (two days after I mailed it).

Obama/Biden 2012 On to Victory!!

[Tx4obama]

19. I early voted last week. We have DIAL machines here at my precinct

You turn the big dial to select the name then hit enter, then go to the next name...

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. That's what my precinct had too, but I asked for a paper ballot.

[Arugula Latte]

23. Voted by mail on a fill-in-the-ovals paper ballot last week.

[Raine]

24. I voted absentee but what they have in my Ca district is "Ink a Vote" where

you fill in the bubble with black ink, no more hanging chads.

[k8conant]

25. Didn't vote today, voted 11 days ago and pen in oval but...

the poll worker put it in a box (don't know if that lockbox was a scanner).

[woodsprite]

27. Danaher Controls ELECTronic 1242 Model 5M Direct Recording Electronic Voting Machine.

I guess it qualifies as a touch screen. Not quite sure about that.

[Scuba]

29. Wow, 21% touchscreen (as of now). Either there's a lot of blind DUers, or ....

... touchscreens are far more prevalent than I thought.

Here in Wisconsin, touchscreens are ONLY supposed to be used for vision-impaired voters, but have been found used where there are not approved.
