Well, the Hillary folks ARE pretty worried about low turn out.  Be funny if Trump won 'cause the democrats were too pissed off to bother voting.  

It's interesting how different the polling systems are in different places. When I vote here in NY I don't have to show anything. I tell the lady - it's almost always a lady - my name and address, she finds it on her list, I sign on the line next to my name on her list and I vote. Done. I've been voting here for over thirty years and the system has always been the same. Only thing that's changed were the machines.

I live in a county of about 3/4 of a million people. I've have never had to stand in a line that was more than four or five people long, and never spent more than 15 or twenty minutes in the polling place.

When I see the news reports after every major election about people standing in lines around the block and waiting for hours I just shake my head. I mean, this is New York, a state noted for having a pretty dysfunctional government. I guess the board of elections in at least my county has their sh*t together better than a lot of places.

Anyway, I'm glad you did get to vote. And yeah, I'm not real impressed with the POTUS choices this year either.

I HATE VOTER REGISTRATION. always have.

‘I didn’t vote for the first 10 years'
Ah,  a   Clue !.   21 + 10 = 31 ???
Their is a  reason, their is the phrase:
  “Youth is Wasted on the Young”

I Have voted for 43 years, and in several times,   Twice in the year.
    (Primaries)
Voting is  NOT,   ONCE,   every 4 years.
It is  EVERY YEAR.  
So have Voted probably about 64 times.

Never ONCE, was their EVER,  ANY   Problem  
NEVER.

Now if you live in a  area, which you PAY  RE  TAXES in,
It would be like, oldNslow said: ‘I tell the lady  my name and address, she finds it on her list, I sign on the line next to my name on her list and I vote.’

‘the choices all suck’
I Agree, but STILL  Vote for the one which represents me the ‘most’.

’the process is BS'
Voting is as hard as you make it.
In fact, I have had a  Harder time, buying beer, cashing a check, renting a car, getting a hotel room, going to a Doctor, or The Eye Clinic, buying land, transferring a MV  title, getting a  CC,  Getting a cell phone, Getting a  MV  License, getting a Job,  (On and On and On)

‘ I should just be able to show up, prove I’m a citizen, of age, in the area, and vote.'
 Yes agree.  The part about: ‘citizen, of age,  -   in the area’.
(Living in that District), Is where the system is at fault.   In  Minn, in some places, you just show up, with a cable tv bill, which the address is ‘within’ the District, You get to vote.  (Get on the buss, then get off at the next District, and someone hands you another ‘bill’ with a address inside the District. etc. etc. etc. But then of course, going ‘home’, someone wants beer, they have to show a  ID  to get  it)

And a, ‘Citizen’.  ???????  That is a  JOKE!

(Joke)   Do you know the difference between  DEAD  people voting, and a  Illegal Alien Voting?
The, Dead people, go  BACK.   The   Illegals’, Stay !

‘could never keep track of that stupid voter registration card that was sent to me, and I hated that even existed.’
Can’t help that.  Guessing you have the same problem, keeping track, of your  Drivers License,  MV Insurance card, SS Card, and your Credit Cards?

Voting is the, Supreme  Privilege, of living in a,  FREE   County !!!!!
It is what people, over many, MANY, years, have  DIED for.
But:   “that stupid voter registration card”.
IT Is  So,   Bothersome, to keep track of !

I'm in Texas, you have no idea how little my vote counts here, but that just makes me want to vote even more

" ... that if you don't show a Photo ID, you have to fill out paper work and sign an affidavit saying that you aren't perjuring yourself, so now voting is a big hoopla,   -   ... when you register to vote, freaking fascists

LOLOOOOOLOLOOL

So  MUCH,  a   Problem.
To have the ULTIMATE,   FREEDOM,  to Vote.

So Much a  Problem.

Gee,  Why not make a  'app', for a  i-Phone,
so while your are playing, 'pokey-man' you can vote  !!!!!
