Today I voted. One again it was quick and painless. The new touch screen machines were interesting. I decided to see what would happen if I tried to select another candidate’s name after I had made my choice. It gave me a weird noise that was an obvious indication that I was trying to do something that I couldn’t do. I think the checkboxes next to the other names had even been removed at that point. I thought about pushing the back button down at the bottom, but I decided against it. Anyway, the person that I had intended to vote for in the first place was the one who was selected in the end, so I don’t think there was any harm done. The machine gave me the option of printing out a paper ballot to verify my selections and I did.

I don’t think there’s anything exciting happening in the Mississippi elections this year, but I haven’t really been paying as close attention as I have in some previous years.
