Early voted on Sunday....

The entire process took 6 hours.... Got in line outside at 11am.... Got to the line inside the building at ~4:30... Got out of there at 5:00. Woo Hoo, 6 hours! But I voted...

My only gripe is that when the paper ballot was scanned, the scanner (which had an LCD screen), didn't confirm what you selected to what it read. But, at least there's a paper trail

One great thing about NH is that it takes 5 minutes to vote, No lines!

In France voting is a right so fewer and fewer people are voting

Go to vote, this is how you can be heard.

Voting doesn't wear itself out if you use it, but it can disappear if you don't use it, so use it before you don't have the right to vote anymore.

Hope you'll have the prez you elected; all resemblance with a past situation would be a coincidence

Wherever you have to vote in France, it never get you more than 15 minutes
OK generally... but waiting more than one hour is rare. It happened more where people had to use voting machines instead of paper bulletins.

At the opposite French people are never asked to answer to dozens of questions at the same time... In fact we are rarely asked to reply to questions

Politics asside - the system only works it the system is used.

If everyone voted what they felt was best for themselves - we would get a country which should operatate as it should - Majority Vote = Majority Rule.

The key is for everyone to vote - we all have different ideas of what our country needs - Voting is the way to make sure those in power UNDERSTAND what we want.

The system is not perfect - but I dare anyone to point out a clearly better one.

GO VOTE !!!
