re: #267 BatGuano

Speaking of pulling the lever. Has anyone pulled a lever? I’ve been voting for thirty-five years and have never had to pull a lever. I always punched or wrote-in.

I did in my early voting years in NJ, in the early ’80s. You would push down a little lever above your candidate’s name. When you were through, you’d pull a big red lever that registered all your choices (and opened the curtain to the voting booth). I found it delightfully old-fashioned. Since I’ve been in Georgia, it’s been either punchcards or touchscreens.
