Vote

So I just voted in my first election in Mississippi's Oktibbeha County.

I asked for a paper ballot, since I knew Mississippi just changed (this year) to all e-voting precincts in the state. Each county can set their own rules, but the Sec. of State's website does not say anything about you having to vote electronically.

Now I did my research, and it looks like I'm very wrong.

I talked to the Circuit Clerk of Oktibbeha. She said if you are present on Election Day you have to e-vote. You do not have a right to a paper ballot.

Okay, fine. I was peeved, but I want to vote, and I'll be damned if they stop me today.

However now I feel betrayed.

I vote. Click print out paper ballot. And well it just prints a ballot for the Clerk to see in case of a recount.

It's election day. Get out and vote people!

Report back here and let us know how the day went if you worked a poll. Look for an election returns live-blog tonight. I'm sure one of us will have one up and running.

Get ready for tomorrow if you haven't already voted.

Review your own voter registration status and the location of your polling site. To search for your registration, enter your last name ("Exactly Like") and first initial or first few letters of First name (change "Exactly Like" to "Begins With" button).

The voter fraud investigation rumors are proving true. CBS News is reporting a key McHenry campaigner has been indicted. The person indicted is a former field director for McHenry that cast a vote in the district while allegedly maintaining a residence out of state. That is all the info I have for now, but as it emerges we will keep you posted.

Cross posted at Pat go bye bye.
