I just got back from "early and often" primary voting.
Man, I love in-person voting in my part of Idaho. You walk in and it's like a big party full of happy people. When you're done voting after they take your ballot, they call out, "Ben has voted" and the workers and voters clap and cheer.
It seems like this year, they are being extra secure with the voter ID checks, and I had to repeat back my name and address at two separate stations. While machines were there, they seemed to be heavily promoting pen and paper ballots. I don't know how much of that is the state and how much of it is my voting jurisdiction being deep dark red. Which, kinda like with gun rights and gun violence, it's not the red areas you have to worry about so much regarding voter ID fraud, so while I like that they seemed to be very meticulous about ID checks, there's likely a very low probability anybody is trying to use a fake ID. It's the commie pinko areas you have to worry about.
