Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

So some results will start showing up when I get off work. Will they release the early vote results at poll close?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My bus is caught in Susan B Anthony grave traffic! Let's hope I make it to my polling place!

We should have curtains. Automatic or not.

Oh my, aurelia! Glad you were not so fuzzled by sleep that you picked it up and put it with the toys before you realized...

That's kind of awesome, Sophia. Surely you could flag down someone going to Susan B's grave and have them give you a ride to the polls, if necessary?

move out and draw fire

I always need red pandas, but I'm about ready to start 36 hours of being a facilitator / camp counselor at a hackathon, so I will have no screen time until Thursday. Probably no me time either. It's going to take every ounce of extraversion I can find.

But it will distract me!

I just have to be in line by 9pm, so I am not really stressed, but I can't believe the cars and the people here! It is really neat!

OMG the cemetery is all lit up and I could see a great big line of people! It is really beautiful.

Irony of ironies!

I agree, Laura. I'm all about the Scantron ballots for the reasons you mentioned.

So, Slate has a new election tool called Turnout Tracker and that's obviously going to be the little bar this crack-addled rat will keep hitting for the next several hours.

ION, the entire Colorado computer voting system went down.

Also problems with the voting machines in Pennsylvania.

Looks like GOP efforts at voter suppression may have been somewhat successful in North Carolina. We'll see.

BUT it's all gonna be moot and probably an early evening because Florida is trending to Clinton early.

Also, Ohio still looks kind of encouraging for the Dems.
