"We" waited til about 2 PM to avoid the early and late "rush" periods...

Middle School parking lot had a few empty spaces, so parking was a breeze!
Into the Gym and walked right up to Precinct #1 Registration Table:
"Hi, Phred; what's your Name?"
Phred
"What's your Address?"
Gave number & street...
"HERE he is!" in The BOOK.
"Sign In, please!"


Two "Girls" <*LOOK*>
#1 ~ "It's a *MATCH*! Must be him!"
#2 ~ "Looks OK ta me; give him his *slip*"
#3 ~ "You're # 264"
#4 ~ "Follow me!"
Inserts her "key" module; hits the "Authorized" button ~
... You know how to "Do This"??"
Yes, m'am!
(Our County "went modern" last year with the
"New, 'Lektronic Computerized Touch-Screen Terminals";
this was my second *Vote* with the New Equipment!)
"Press the Big, Red, *blinking* "VOTE" button when you've finished.
Now, give me BACK your #264 *slip*!"

Read, select, *TOUCH* - see the lil "X" appear! NEAT!!

Review the "summary pages"...
Big RED, "VOTE" button starts *BLINKIN*!


Screen says "Thank You - Your VOTE has been !" ...
<*zipppp*> and the screen goes *blank*...
WHUTT!?? No *BEEP*!??

"Here Phred ~ don't furget your "I VOTED" sticker!!
See ya next year!!

In, *Voted*, and Out in about 20 minutes!
