This is my tweetlog from the morning (not all of them… just the tweets about my personal voting experience):
- My Brooklyn polling place is always empty. I’m often the only voter there. Today, line goes one person out the door. http://twitpic.com/jvka
- About 80-100 voters at my Red Hook polling place. This neighborhood is something like 75% black, but these voters this AM are 95% white. :-(
- Almost there. I’m looking at that voting machine like a starving man rescued from a desert island, looking at a massive Thanksgiving dinner!
- Voted! http://twitpic.com/jw6m Wanted to savor the moment, but knowing there’s a long line I hurried out. Savoring will come later tonight!

I remember going into the booth with my mom when I was a kid and closing the curtain and the sound of the clicks. The machine wouldn’t let you vote incorrectly — you could only vote for the right number of people in each category. When you opened the curtain, the vote was filed away. I miss those old machines.

I love these machines, but they are massively error-prone.
