So I decided to vote today at a local rec center..

Few people.. I had originally thought I entered the wrong voting center - thinking it was that churchy place by the park where I live, so I asked if I could vote in here - they all say "YES!" - and so I proceeded with my voting - ID was checked (my driver's license was accepted), and they asked me the appropriate questions for verification, so I answered them. They asked me if I wanted to vote by machine or by paper. I said paper! There were three machines looking so lonely in its dark corner.... looked evil..... but I voted.

There. All done. Took me all of 5 minutes. Why can't each voting center be like that in the United States.

some of the problems with voting in other states I am shocked. Never ever had a problem here.

Makes me sad that so many states make it hard to vote.

I just didn't mail it in.... just did it the old fashioned way..

They still allow for that.
