I got mine. Entered the building and promptly strolled up to the first poll worker who has known me since before I was born. May have changed my diapers over 60 years ago. She asked, "And who are you?" as I handed her my drivers license. I gave her my full name as that is how they have it on the voter registration list. She scanned the license, waited a couple of seconds and announced, "Why, yes you are." based on the results of the license scan. I signed my name with the magic electronic pen. Then I turned to the second poll worker who has known me for over 50 years as she was in high school with my sister and was a frequent visitor in our house in those days. She handed me the ballot and cautioned me to double check the six items on the checklist to make sure I had done everything correctly before slipping my ballot into the metal box after filling it out. Walked about 10 feet to the little voting booth and slipped behind the short curtain. President, Senator, US Representative, State Senator, State Representative, County Sheriff, County Treasurer, County Clerk, County Register of Deeds, County Attorney, Township Treasurer, Township Trustee, 6 State Supreme Court Justices, 3 State Appeals Court Justices, District Court Judge (presiding), District Court Judge (our county only), and a State Constitutional Amendment. The first four had multiple choices. The next eight had no official competitor on the ballot. All of the Court votes are: To retain---yes/no. The Amendment was yes/no. The entire process took less than 10 minutes. It would have gone quicker if I had quit filling in the write-in slots by writing "None of the above". That's a joke, son. I didn't really do it, but I thought about it. The County Clerk oversees voting, so will look at all write-in votes. I filled in the write-in slot for that office with "Anybody but Randal". He'll get a kick out of that and probably accuse me of doing it-----after he comes up with some excuse to get me to print something for him so he can compare the handwriting.
You only had one state constitutional amendment? Alabama had 18 of them! Many only applied to some particular county but because of our horrible state constitution had to be on a statewide ballot.
My entire process took about 25 minutes. Much less time that the 2 hours in 2012.
One of the many reasons I love living in a rural area. I was in and out in 10 minutes, there were 15 - 20 folks there most of which I knew.
We were in and out in 5 minutes not including the 2 block walk to our polling place.
Pres, US Senator(there will be a runoff in Dec), US Congressional Rep (no vote)
And 6 constitutional amendments. Voted Yes to all.
Read an interesting factoid early this morning while reviewing the amendments. The U S constitution has had 17 amendments since the original 10 ( Bill of Rights) in the 18th century.
The current Louisiana constitution written in 1974 has had 187 amendments.
Anyway here is yours truly selfie and my Blue Dog rougarou vote sticker as proof
Didn't get no sticker but voted by mail. Hopefully Florida's Ammendment 2 will pass FINALLY. 😎
Did not get a sticker.
I voted early, Friday of last week.
Took longer to get thru thru the sign in part as each of the three steps was another little lady with a big thick booklet to look name up and select the correct info to put a preprinted stickon next to my name on the list.
Our County has all these electronic voting machines and it took a few minutes to do the entire ballot.
All we had extra to vote on was a bond issue that could raise our property taxes 8% every year from now on...............
Got mine. I usually drop by to vote at the little church on the corner later in the day. There has been times only 40 or 50 people voted there on any given election. I looked on the machine and at 10 AM I was number 447...a good turn out for sure.
got my blue dog early voting last week.
I was number 2 this morning. A Marine beat me to the head of the line.

Nope no sticker, but today I'm headed to the nearest "Doc Box" and procure my medical marijuana prescription for Glaucoma. 🙂
(they are having a $99 special and you get a $10 gift card for Hardee's)
I got mine and wore it upside down all day.
Absolutely.
My son was able to exercise his citizen rights for the first time. That was a milestone.

I just noticed my "I VOTED TODAY" sticker actually had a coupon for a free jar of Vaseline on the back......
Found out at least one person wrote my name in for sheriff. That won't work at all. I have trouble spelling it, so I shouldn't be it. I want it to be s-h-e-r-r-i-f or maybe s-h-e-r-r-i-f-f.
I voted electronically from my desk at home, last month, after pondering for a couple weeks.
I tried to vote twice.
The clerk sent me an electronic sticker, with a nice personal note: 
Worked yesterday as an election judge for the 1st time... Mrs. File was the chief judge at the precinct... I think she enjoyed it ( being my boss) a little too much...... 😉
We had a an amazing turn out. 2100 registered voters in the precinct, 948 had requested absentee ballots and we had 813 come thru the polls. At one point there was about a 35 minute wait. We Started at 6 am and finished at 10:30 Pm when we checked all of the election-sensitive documents, etc. back in with the county clerk. We didn't work our own precinct- the county election deputy asked Mrs. File to work a separate precinct that had experienced difficulties during the primary.

I'm horrified that this practice exists at all. I would favor a requirement that every vote leave a paper trail of some kind.
And Peter, you of all people, trusting software to do the right thing? How much of it on their end came from Microsoft? (I know it wouldn't on your end.)
Maryland decided to go with electronic followed with a paper trail at the polls. One paper scanner per voting place in my county. Made for some longer lines of half an hour or better due to the scanners malfunctioning.

You are thinking clearly. This must represent one of the places where vote swapping can occur. There was quite a story about that on one of the major networks a few days ago. Apparently, a person residing in one community can swap voting privileges with a person residing in a different community. That seems criminal to me but I don't write the rule books.
We have paper ballots that the voter feeds into the scanner. If there is any question about the machine not working right, they have the paper for a recount. That's what EVERYBODY should be using.
