Your Personal Voting Experience and Poll

There are an ongoing series of diaries here that detail voting problems from around the country.  Some are secondhand alerts of problems and some are firsthand accounts.  In the interests of trying to gauge the breadth of the problem, this diary is for people who had no problems voting, as well as a poll for all who voted -- problem voting can be registered in the poll.  Join me over the bump for my rationale.

I am in no way what could be considered an "anti-fraudster" member of this community.  I was, in fact, much more sympathetic to the idea that fraud could have occurred in the last election -- and before -- and was not happy about the bullying that occurred from some members.  I think the discussion could have been more fruitful if those of us posting about the potential for fraud (or those posting about lack of proof) had been more respectful of each other and been not so quick with the labels.  If we could have discussed all this better back then, we might have more easily come up with agreement over what constituted proof of fraud -- or at least known where the disagreement over defining it lay -- much sooner.  But that's water under the bridge.

Like many here, I want to continue to rationally talk about this issue, so that we help to drive the bus of election reform, but let's have informed discussion.  In the interests of helping to keep the issue of voting from getting overheated, I propose the following poll to get a bead on how widespread problems are.  Please take the poll.  

If you had an entirely problem-free voting experience take a moment to tell us about it.  I'm hoping that if you had problems, or saw or heard others had problems, you can find one of the other voting diaries that cover problems to post to.  Of course the choice is yours.

There is no response for "Haven't voted yet" so please take the poll after you vote.  I know this is only a miniscule sample of people who are voting, but I'm not trying to prove anything here.  I intentionally left out "Saw someone else having problems" or "Heard about a problem" as responses to make this as factual as possible.  The more who respond, the better our sample.  Vote!
