[Thanks for Rec'ing this to the Rec. List... You people give me hope too!]
[Update 2: Please visit Video the Vote to learn about how to document the process outside the polls--after citizens have voted--not during. Also, check this out, from the NYTimes, regarding photographs. **I have removed a strong statement here about the practice of videoing your own voting, which seems unreasonable to me, but I am no lawyer** THANKS!]

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of heading in to my county municipal office to vote early. I was SO excited to finally get the opportunity to "pull the lever" in this decision.

THE PROBLEM was that my touch-screen voting machine inaccurately put a green check mark in the McCain/Palin box when I touched my guy's name. I followed the instructions and touched the incorrect check mark to "de-select" it and then used my pinky instead of my index finger to select Obama/Biden. That wasn't the end of my frustration, though.

Yesterday my wife was "paced" for 6 miles on our local freeway by a driver who came up fast behind her as she merged onto the interstate, then this guy slowed up considerably and settled in along side her. My children were in the car. We have an "Obama '08" sticker in the back window.
