    Had a client cancel a meeting at the last minute today, so I went out and voted.
    Thus creating some extra time on my schedule next Tuesday.

    Procedure: They asked for my ID (driver's license), then quizzed me on my address (??). These things were new.
    The rest was the same as in the past: sign for your ballot, judge compares your signature to the one on file. Only then do you get your ballot.

    We use a paper ballot, completed with a designated black marker (fill in the ovals, like on a multiple choice test). You then bring your completed ballot over to the designated machine for your precinct and feed it in (not unlike a paper feeder for a typical printer). There's a readout showing the total number of ballots cast; you can watch the number go +1.

      Thank you for sharing the methodology. That is very similar to our municipal elections.
      There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

        I just hope I don't bring the wrong driver's license again. While it's easy enough to explain away and you can still vote, it creates an unwanted hassle.

            Lake County, IL. I'm just north of the Cook County line, about 30 miles from the heart of downtown Chicago.

            Lake County is generally well-to-do and skews GOP (like all the collar counties), but with a fairly strong green/eco-faction.

                          This may be an attempt at a joke/sarcasm that's gone really terribly wrong, but as it stands it's really not acceptable.
