Election Day

I voted early (but not often). Anna pulled the levers for me — yes, we still vote with levers in New York. State election officials are rightly concerned that the fancy schmancy voting machines mandated by the Help America Vote Act don't work. The two major systems being considered have failed every single test. The good news is that the state has refused to allow the use of uncertified machines (unlike some states, cough, Pennsylvania, cough, Ohio). The bad news is that Anna got a sticker for voting and I didn't. What's up with that?
