I didn't say it had to be. It just struck me as sweeping it under the carpet.

Just back from voting, and it went surprisingly quickly. I had planned to wait until next Tuesday but with my training classes starting on Monday I decided to get it out of the way today. Must have hit a real lull because I was the second person in line and was probably not there more than 5 minutes. Just luck, I'm sure. The machine I fed my ballot into had a vote counter on it and mine was the 856th ballot cast. There are four such machines at this polling place. I did not check the counters on the other ones (wish I had) but if they are anywhere near the same that's a lot of votes a week before the election. This polling place can't serve a population greater than 30,000-40,000.
