      We live close enough to walk. So waiting on an iPhone to charge then going to walk over and do some Pokemon Hunting on the way to vote.

      But we did have lunch with someone who was talking to a friend who was bragging about how she had managed to vote for Trump twice this morning - once as herself and once as her mother later on in the day. I've never heard of anyone actually getting to get away with a fake vote before in real life. Of course it happens, but to first hand know if it happening is crazy. And, of course, only in Texas do people brag about it.

          Yeah I wonder how that voter fraud and rigged system is working out for the candidates. . .

            I wonder how big voter fraud is in the US. My tiny anecdotal evidence since I know about it happening here and being abroad never hear of it happening there. Given the general high levels of US corruption, it is very hard to imagine that it doesn't happen more in the US than in most places.

              My statement isn't for Hillary or Trump, but to know someone who has seen it first hand sounds like it's totally common practice. Which only makes it sound as though Trump was "right" about voter fraud.

              Just that it's occurring in a his favor is what I find ironic, especially if he does lose.

                Not as prevalent as you'd think. http://www.factcheck.org/2016/10/trumps-bogus-voter-fraud-claims/ there is some research by various bodies to back it up as well. One of them, I think the Brennan Center for Justice found 0.03-0.06% rate of occurrence during the elections that they investigated.

                    That's a response to Trump's specific claims, but the real question is about voter fraud more generally. The only case that I've witnessed would have been ignored by that article. They work too hard to say that Trump is wrong (which is true, I'm sure) and too little to say that voter fraud is being monitored.

                    Here is a simple question: Do we have a national registry for voting?

                    No, we do not. Why not? Only reason I know of is to make voter fraud easier. Hard to accept any study done in a country that doesn't have even a modicum of voter fraud protection.

                      Has anyone here voted today?

                      I voted a couple of hours ago now, on my lunch break.

                                            does being in straight lines, etc somehow ensure a better design layout? What if the circuit paths are shorter this way?
