Election day observations...

Featured Replies

1. Signs all over my polling place said have ID ready and I was required to show photo ID before getting my ballot. I thought mandated ID at polling places was a bad thing and not allowed?

 

2. The number on my ballot was entered by my name after I signed the book. I thought we were supposed to have secret ballots?

 

3. It took me exactly 5 seconds (i timed it) to vote.

 

3. Other then the state wide races the only other race on my ballot was a special election to fill a vacant district judge position. There were 21 people running. I voted for the guy I went to high school with. It was as good a reason as any.

Bellarmine was having classes when I went to vote this morning before work. Can't imagine what it would've been like if I'd shown up an hour later as the 9:00 am classes were set to start.

I am thankful for the opportunity to vote. I've not missed an election since I first became eligible to vote.

 

I also am thankful to have the health to go to the poll. The elderly man that lives next door to me and is going through cancer treatment could barely make it. He wouldn't accept a ride, though.

 

There were no signs up for IDs at my polling place. I always bring mine with me, but since the poll workers are neighbors, they never look at it.

 

Honestly, though a low turnout was expected, my polling place was busier than I expected it to be.

I vote in Covington at St Augustine's. I voted at 9:45, three precincts represented at this polling place, I was the only one there. They asked for my ID, didn't look to see if there was a sign about ID.

No sign indicating that ID was required. No ID requested.

I wasn't asked for my ID. I had it on the ready and gave it to them before they could ask me for it. The elderly couple in front of me was asked to show ID.

 

I didn't look to see if a sign was there.

 

I did see a sign saying that if a person hadn't properly registered to become a write in candidate then you couldn't write them in or it wouldn't count if you did. As a result I voted for Drew Curtis as governor and not Jason Alexander. Damn rules.

My "straight D ticket" will cancel your straight Republican. Five ...four...three...two...one! Done!

Reports earlier today were that turnout was low early on in West Louisville, which I'm sure is one of the spots Conway should be expected to get big gains. We'll see if that changed as the day went on.

Was asked for ID to look up name in book. They flipped through the book to find the signature block. Noticed it was very, very sparse in terms of signatures.

 

Did not notice ballot number being recorded. Two ladies were on the signature book and one handing out ballot on adjacent table.

 

In and out. No one there when I arrived. Maybe two people came afterwards.

Due to post #6 my gov vote goes to the bit-bucket...

Had to show an ID in Cold Spring. I was surprised when I read on the sign that a credit card would count as proper identification.

and your straight D ticket was 2-4. :dancingpa

ID required signs everywhere at my poll in Independence. Two precincts voting at one location. Not a big crowd.

I had to wait for about 1 minute behind a guy with a bad hairpiece, but I was in and out in less than five minutes.

Have never voted without being asked to show my ID, this time was no different. I was the crowd.
