Well, filling in the arrow with the marker actually, but I do miss the ka-chunk of those old lever voting machines I used back in NY.

No troubles here in Maine, just a pleasant walk over the river to my polling place and no real wait (not surprising - 5 polling places for about 13,000 registered voters. The last town I lived in had about two-thirds as many voters, but just one polling place). It was about lunchtime when we left though and the crowds were starting to converge.

Now, the waiting. Hopefully it will be measured in days, not weeks.

One of the state issues for Maine is, to paraphrase, "Should it be made illegal for hunters to put huge piles of jelly doughnuts in the woods, then shoot the bears that come to eat the doughnuts." Because it seems that is how a lot of bear "hunting" goes on here. I'm no bear hunting expert, but that seems just a bit unsportsman-like to me.

What's on the ballot in your state or town?
