Super Tuesday 2008: Polling Station Anecdote

A quick, but interesting, data point.
Wife went to the local polling station today to vote in the primaries (and on California referendum initiatives), just before they closed. She was #179 on the day... and #108 to use a paper ballot, instead of the available touch screens.
One of the two polling places I run ran out of DTS-DEM ballots (the ballots for DTS voters who want to vote in the Dem primary) at about 6.45pm. The county did not provide us with more.
Both of the polling places I run, plus the other two in the same building, ran out of provisional ballot envelopes at around 7pm; the county got us more of those at 7.50pm.
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
