I voted touchscreen.

[jfb]

Today's the first time I've ever declined an "I voted" sticker--or, more precisely, "I voted touchscreen". I explained to the young poll worker that I was dubious about electronic voting systems, and would rather not wear that endorsement on my person. "I suppose I could tear off the bottom line," I allowed, "but I'd probably rip the flag, and then I'd be hauled off." He was very understanding. I'm sad about not having a sticker though.

I don't think I've ever been given an "I voted" sticker. I have been given "I tried to give blood today" stickers, though...

No stickers?! Why do Washington residents even bother to vote?

Maybe there should be "my party didn't have a primary today" stickers. But then everyone would think I'm Republican, hrm.

Thanks for voting.

No problem. Yeah, I left out the nuances--I'm not intrinsically opposed to electronic voting, I just think the way we're doing it is highly suspect.

I voted absentee. With a piece of paper and a pen.
