I voted today.

I received my registration card in the mail many weeks prior. And weeks prior, still today, there is encouragement on billboards, on television, radio, on the internet, to VOTE. Today I went to the basement of the local Catholic Church. People going in and out, no big lineup.

Downstairs an electoral officer read my card, showed me the line I was supposed to be in. 5 people ahead of me. This wasn't going to take long.

Got to my poll, showed them my card and my provincial ID card. They crossed my name off the list and handed me the ballot, showed me to the cardboard booth.

Pencil. Paper Ballot. Paper voter list. No Diebold technology whatsoever. I didn't even see a laptop.

I placed my X on the ballot, came back to the poll table. Another electoral officer checked the number on the ballot with the stub it came from. She asked me to place it in the ballot box and watched me put it in. I was done. I left.

Readers may or may not be aware of a story that has erupted from my adopted city of Timmins, Ontario. I cannot add much more to what was said in these articles. They're a good read.

[Please excuse me for my lack of finesse with the links.]
The petition is still up (https://www.change.org/...) if you want to sign it as well, at last count it had over 23,000 signatures within the span of three days.

Follow me past the great orange squiggle for more of this.

I couldn't wait for an Open Thread to share this (I didn't think I had permission to post it here, a link is the best I can do). To say the least I found it very funny. I don't recall seeing this here yet. If it was published here already, my apologies. If not, please enjoy. Thank you.
