That makes my day! All three of my oldest children are supporting Senator Obama. I plan on going to the polls with my 19 year-old daughter for the very first time!

So OBAMA signs in t-shirts are allowed inside the polling place?????
I have never IN MY LIFE seen anyone with a campaign shirt inside the polling place during election day whether it is a voter or poll worker.
What has America become???!!!!!
Holy cow!!!! This is unbelievable and such a nightmare!!!!
All this cheating and corruption!
This is all a bad dream!!!
It is really hard for me to believe that anyone goes to the polls without a pretty firm idea of who they wish to vote for. Although I also believe in appearing as non-partisian, in that type of enviornment, I would suspect that the buttons/ t-shirts/ signs from "the other side" would simply remind one to vote as one had already decided to!
I voted today. Waited less than 5 minutes. Illinois polling machines are both electronic and paper, you make your votes on the screen electronically, then when you are finished, it shows your choices in front of you and you THEN can CAST your ballot. After you cast your ballot a paper receipt of your choices scrolls by so there is proof of your choices if such proof were ever necessary.
Cant have a better system in place than that one
So which did you choose? I'm assuming electronic... or did you go the paper ballot route?
I left the building with a big ol' grin on my face!
