If voting was this easy everywhere . . .
I gotta hand it to Wisconsin, at least Madison. In the last two elections it’s taken me less than 20 minutes to register and vote. Including travel time!
On both occasions–and I lived in two different, East-side locations–the polling stations were a few minute walk from my apartment, and all I needed was a driver’s license number and a proof of residence to register and vote.
I wonder, when people have the voting experience I have, what it’s like in neighborhoods unlike mine.
But even though I have it easy, I still worry about my vote getting counted. All I do is blacken in an arrow pointing to my selection on the scantron sheet and feed it into a machine. This seems like proven technology, but is it? Is any method infallible? What’s the best? And can I get a receipt, please?
