Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Man, those old lever machines were great. So satisfying, with the kaTHUNK noise and the actual physical confirmation of voting!
Plus as somebody just reminded me, they automatically opened the curtain behind you when the vote was registered and the tumblers reset. A very dramatic flourish.
ZOMG tiny Chinese Crested fluffballs!
When do polls start to close? Or is that going to be iffy due to long lines?
There's a breed called the Chinook that was created by breeding Huskies and mastiffs.

So true! My first votes in NY were the lever machines with the automatic curtain. It was fun, but I have more confidence in the optical reader ballots. Paper backup, no chads.

Parts of IN and KY close at 6:00 Eastern. I doubt any results will be available until 7:00, when the rest of those states (along with 5 others, including VA, SC, GA, FL, and VT) close. I suspect serious results will start coming in after NC, WV, and OH close at 7:30.
So some results will start showing up when I get off work. Will they release the early vote results at poll close?
Timelies all!
Surgery ~ma for your dad, msbelle.
Voted this morning before I went to work. We have the paper ballots where you fill in the bubbles and then scan it.

I wish there was an option for optical scan during early voting here, but it's all touchscreen until election day. There is a receipt tape hard copy in the machine though.
This morning when I opened the coat closet to get my shoes I was actually frozen in surprise for several seconds while I kept thinking, "That is not a toy" over and over. My cats have many, many toy mice. The one I was looking at was much smaller and waaaay too detailed. And dead. I suspect the cats played it to death and accidentally batted it under the door.
My bus is caught in Susan B Anthony grave traffic! Let's hope I make it to my polling place!
