I just voted. Didn't wait in line. All-in-all a painless experience. The election officials in my precinct said that 40% of registered voters in that precinct had already voted (this was at 11:00AM).

In Chicago we have this un-ending ballot wherein you can vote yes or no to retain certain judges -- a large number of them (50, 60?). Call me an uninformed lout, but not knowing anything about these men and women, I didn't vote yay or nay for any of them. The election official said my other votes will still count, and that the vote-card verification computer would spit my ballot out, and then I would be able to over-ride it and make the vote stick. OK. But the computer just accepted my card, said it was all in order -- with about 50 potential options not punched.

I am only slightly concerned about this, until further notice.
there is only one clear path and it's paved with bacon.

I had the same experience. I skipped the yes or no to the judges, except for McDunna who I voted no for cuz she's got some anti-gay ideals. The machine accepted the card without overriding.

In the past I've not voted for everyone and had the machine spit the card back out and had to override...... but in those I had more that I didn't vote for..... So I'm pretty sure that the green-judges-yes-no section was 'optional'.
