Took me over an hour to vote–I’ve never experienced anything like it. I don’t think it’s just that I’m in a wired, upscale neighborhood. I ended up voting online, despite my skepticism, because Everyone Else Was. O.k., shame on me. Get your butt to the polls EARLY, and please vote for one of the people who will end up in the White House next January (should the courts be done by then…).

A friend scolded me for voting on the electronic machine and not demanding a paper trail. I just voted like everyone else there. But my machine was hard to read, light green on a turquoise background. The other machines were black and purple on a white background.
Too bad about the outcome. Although I voted for the Berkeley library measure, I am not surprised it appears to be losing, since opponents claimed it would cost the average homeowner $341/year in taxes ($41 increase).
