same here, it works well enough - there's about 4-5 people watching you as you place your vote (one from every party I'd guess) and an adjudicator, then a similar setup for each vote counter - which means there's very little chance of need for recounts more than once or twice.

What's the big plastic hassle?!

I kind of felt you would be. Sorry you feel bad Pirty. I know that depressing feeling all too well with the political situation in my country. It sucks bigtime when things don't go the way you'd like and the way you think they should go.

I'm not sorry at all - in fact, in makes me laugh that millions of republicans are as sick as dogs about the whole affair. I think I'll call it "Tookie's Revenge" for the hell of it!

I don't believe in kicking a person when they're down, especially when it's a wicked person like Pirty veryshy

Wow... that sounds like a lot of people. Basically here, you show your voter identification card or id and your name is checked off the voter list. You're given your ballot and you go behind a cardboard "divider" where you fill out the form then you close the ballot in front of the monitor. Very low key and seems to work.

I guess we should all just be happy that we have the right to vote. We are having municipal elections here next Tuesday and quite frankly I have NO CLUE who to vote for!
