See, that was another thing, this was the first election where I saw all computers at the polls. My first election, which was ‘04, the rolls were still in these “War and Peace”-sized books. Next two elections, same deal. Then ‘10, they had laptops there alongside the book, same deal with ‘12. This year, it was just a line of laptops.

A few years ago, when it was time to sign the voter log, I whipped out a pen and signed. The poll worker SCREAMED at me that I was supposed to sign in pencil. I asked why. She had no explanation, nor could I find anything about it in the state election laws. Since then, I always have a pen in hand, but nobody’s brought it up again. Weird.
