[Ohio-talk] Voting

[Colleen Roth]

Hi Sherri,
I know what you mean. But you know, we do not see too many younger people stepping in to fill the gaps.
At least they try.
Now I'm glad that they know how to do it where we go.
Fortunately my husband has seen them do it enough that he can help.
He doesn't use the machine but he is one of those people who like those things.
I love using it. 
I wouldn't want to use Absentee Ballot because this way I can vote independently.
Colleen Roth

It's not just me: they have to look up anything out of the ordinary, but they are steady as rocks: faithfully there every year doing their part.

You might want to bring a sandwich!  If I had been in the line on lection day, I would definitely have been taking three or four times as long as anyone else... that's not, of course, a reason to require that you vote early, but I figured going today would  clear out some space in November for other people who might be in a hurry. The added benefit was that I was given instructions by someone who knew how to set up the machine for me as opposed to the wel-intentioned election volunteers who often have to hold up the line to make several phone calls before I can vote.
