You know you live in a rural hick town when...

[DrPizza]

I was lmao at the town hall. We use the lever machines here. The machine for my town apparently had trouble with the curtain closing. They fixed it with... bailing twine!

 

[natto fire]

meh, if it works...
:thumbsup: to voting though.

The main reason for voting today was just for the sake of "what if I don't vote and 30 years from now I decide to enter a political race." I'd hate to have an opponent shake his finger at me and say "records show, you didn't vote in 2005."

I was in and out of the voting booth in about 10 seconds. I didn't bother to vote for any of the races (most candidates were unopposed, in the cases where they weren't, I didn't have a clue, nor would the outcome have any bearing on my life) - I only voted on the two state propositions. People before me took 3 or 4 minutes each.

so it seems that Olean is even more hickish then Dansville eh?

I miss the lever booths we had back in Ohio. Here they have the bubble-sheet ballots and those little tinker-toy-ish tables to fill them out on. Washington state hasn't got a friggin clue how to manage their tax income, they can't even afford real voting booths.

Wow, I wonder where they actually got their data? It's gotta be close for Black Creek. (Heck, a 200% error would still be in the ballpark for the population)
But Olean is listed as over 20k people... I'd believe anything from 11K to 14K. Certainly not 20k

Which county were you in back in Ohio? Almost half of the counties in the state used Diebold Electronic Voting Equipment this election (for the first time). I actually just got home from the elections office.

You realize, don't you, that ever since your house-buying sagas, your area has been my fantasy dream relocation spot?
