On a personal note, rather than book issue, I work Early Voting as well as run a precinct during Florida elections. This year we opened a new site in my town, Niceville.
The first day was a major challenge as we had all sorts of hardware issues. Luckily our hardware guru was there nearly the second we yelled for help, as was the county Supervisor of Elections, who before he got elected was our hardware guru. So between them we were up on time, even if we still had a few glitches going on.
Voters though were wonderful. They smiled and laughed when we said they were Guinea Pigs as we tried to fix the problems. They were all delighted to have a site in their own town and one that should cut down on the lines we had for the last couple of major elections. I love our voters!
Today is day tree of Early Voting and I heard we still have a few issues to iron out. Help will be on hand. So glad we are doing this now, before the madness of a presidential election in November. At this one it is only Republicans voting so we have only about half our electorate coming in anyway (this county is heavily Republican, with Democrats and Independents far behind in numbers).
Early Voting for Florida runs through Saturday the 28th and the Presidential Preference Primary main election day is January 31st. I’ll need a vacation once this is over!
