What's happening out there. Are there long lines? Are you having trouble voting? How are the optical scan machines? Any thoughts?

I just voted here in little Darien and turnout has been steady -- with my polling location reporting 50%+ turnout as of 5pm.

One Newtown senior citizen's comments on optical scan voting: "Much confusion with paper ballot - ballot clerk was on her second page of people turning in ballots because they had marked the wrong box. Set up like tests where you fill in the oval with a black marker that is in the booth & then feed the paper ballot into a computerized counter. I told the gal at the computer that I didn't trust the machine & that I thought it was really shredding the ballots. I wonder how Gram handled it - could be a problem for people with poor eyesight and/or shaky hands. Met [someone] who said he mistakenly filled in ovals for 2 people for the same office."

Word is, for reasons unclear, Stratford Republicans are working against Debicella for a Chris Jones Win in the 21st Senate seat being vacated by Doc Gunther.

The new optical scan paper ballots in Montville- Very easy to fill out and feed into the machine.

No problem at all easier then the old machines IMHO I have been using for 22 years.
