I did, and an election worker demanded I put it in the provisional ballot box, that all paper ones had to. I told her no way! I'm not provisional, I live here, I'm registered, I have ID to show I'm me, and this is not a ballot you have any right to challenge. She was adamant, I was adamant, and it got to where I nearly called the police. Finally, someone else talked some sense into her and let me put the ballot where it properly went.<BR/><BR/>This after, on the previous election, the machine had botched my vote: it was supposed to confirm by paper strip, and the paper strip came out blank. Did the same thing to my neighbor. I refused to leave till they fixed that machine and it printed out my confirmation of my choices. Dang, the line there was long that day!
