I voted today in the Jersey City Municipal Election.
I decided, as you can see, to wear my EKR-designed California Top-To-Bottom Review T-shirt. That may not have been the wisest decision; it made me a bit nervous. One pollworker remarked, "Love the shirt!", although I was pretty sure she meant the lolspeak and not the specific application thereof. When she said that to me, I thought, "Damn. The jig is up." and decided to vote as quickly as possible (so that they couldn't say I was messing with the machine). I was in and out of the voting booth in about 5 seconds (srsly).
In my haste, I forgot to vote for one of the at-large councilperson seats; I voted for 2 candidates instead of the allowed 3. Sigh. I didn't realize this until I was halfway home. So, Lori Serrano, you missed my vote today due to this mistake; I'm sorry.
Undervote notification -- where a voting system lets you know if you're ballot isn't complete -- is a good thing! (The Sequoia AVC Advantages that are used in Jersey City don't do this... or at least were not configured to do so.)
