Well I voted. [View all]

Busy polling station. Zero wait time.
No black box proprietary closed source software, no fancy "chads", just a slip of paper, a pencil for marking an 'X', and a box to drop it in - and at the end of the day a counting process with volunteer scrutineers from all parties to ensure a fair count. Couldn't be faster, simpler or more fool-proof.

Interesting watching the people on the sidewalk, coming back from voting - all with this strange glow. Hopefully with a "yeah! take that, Harper, you washed up (expletive deleted)".
