I did. Took Z for his first ever vote. Yay! It was pretty quick. I do live in the land of the old people, so not surprisingly most of the people in there were old.

In Charlotte we had electronic machines. Here, it was a paper ballot. The kind like when you took tests in college, so they can be run through the machine and counted. They run them through as you're leaving so the vote gets counted then.

I still see a potential problem, like with the hanging chads. If you don't fill in the circle well enough, the machine might not be able to read it.

I have to say also that it took all of two seconds in the Alphabet line, where they give you the ballot. Plus they had probably twenty or more polling tables lined up, so I was able to immediately get into a booth and start marking my votes.

It was also a very short ballot, only one front side page and two additional initiatives on the backside. Crap, in Charlotte the ballot was often 8 to 10 pages of stuff.

I think it took us all of 15 mins from entering the polling station until we left.

So if you haven't already, get out and vote!
