I try to eat before I vote. After seeing the choices, I often lose my appetite.

They seem to be more common at Democrat polling places because Democrats seem to have a
harder time figuring out how to vote. In 2004, the last vote cast in the country was by a co-ed in
Kenyon College in Knox County OH, where I live. She cast her vote well after the polls in Hawaii had
closed. The reason for that was there were a lot of first time voters (mostly Democrats) trying
to figure out how to operate the voting machines. I think it is pretty much universal that if you are in line when the polls close, you still get to vote no matter how long it takes. It took 11 hours to get some of them to the voting machines. That vote became even more significant in light of the fact that Ohio was the last domino to fall in the Bush-Kerry contest and whoever won Ohio was
going to win the election.

In order to accommodate these Democrat voters who seem to have trouble with voting machine
technology, my county has since gone back paper ballots in the hope that they will be easier to
understand. That also allows more people to vote at one time since they just need tables with
tri-fold cardboard "voting booths" so a lot more stations can be set up at each polling place.
