I Voted :)

[SunsetDreams]

I went to the polls, with the knowledge that Republicans will try anything to get re-elected. I had that on my mind, while I was voting, which kind of makes what happened when I tried to put my ballot in the machine, kind of comical. When I put my ballot in, the machine kept alarming and spitting my ballot back out. Since I was already worried about cheating etc, my immediate thought was, "ok this machine sees that I voted straight Democratic, and is trying to not count my votes because it's rigged" A poll worker came to help me, and kept trying to put it in herself, and it wouldn't work for her. She then looked up and down my ballot to see if there was a "problem". I thought, "ok now she's going to tell me, we'll have to manually "count" your ballot, but rest assured it will be "counted", don't worry"....
Turns out the joke was on me... at the top I had darkened in to vote straight Democratic party, however, I also had went down the ballot darkening in Democratic by each race. She told me what the problem was, and ripped my other ballot in half, and gave me a new one. Moral of this story, is when you go vote, don't do that. Do one or the other, not both, because the machine errors if you do that.

In my case it wasn't a Republican trying to cheat me, it was a silly Democrat....me. LOL
