I finished voting

Voting is an aerobic exercise in California (from carrying around the several-hundred-page official voter guide, containing the summary, explanation, fiscal analysis, text, and pro and con arguments and rebuttals (MOST OF WHICH ARE USUALLY PRINTED IN ALL CAPS) of the "measures submitted to the voters" - I got twenty-two of them this year).

I'm so glad that's over.

(Now here's hoping that on November 3 it will REALLY be over.)

Oregon's a mail-in voting state -- no polling places, just ballot dropoff boxes if you don't want to mail it in.

This year the Oregon ballot was updated. Instead of a form with numbers chads in it that you punch out with a pen, it was a scantron ballot with circles you fill in with an optically dark mark. Different! Probably more user friendly to non-geeks.

I dropped off the ballot in the postal box at the office. At home I have a record of who/what I voted. I am looking forward to Tuesday to find out how it all comes out. The way I see it, the more time elapses, the worst Bush's position gets. :)

I await October surprise with ambivalence.
