I didn't grow up in Idaho, and when I voted here I couldn't believe it was retro. You have to go to the Fairgrounds, ID isn't required, and you can even register day of. We have these little push pin things that pop out for the candidate. All the poll workers are little old ladies, aka the blue haired mafia.

Where I grew up we voted in the neighborhood, a school cafeteria, church basement, someone's garage, etc., after spending time in Alaska I am thoroughly impressed with their system. My friend is from Southeast Alaska, goes to school in Fairbanks, and she told me every single polling place in the state has every single ballot for every town, village, city, borough and so on. They set up on the UAF campus but you can vote at any place in the state, it is a scantron sheet, and they read it and the results are electronically sent to Juneau.

I was just double checking the hours for voting tomorrow, and we've joined the 20th century? We have optical scan voting, YAY!!!!! But there's some issue when I checked online which precinct I'm in. Their map doesn't jive with the information on the form, and it isn't a type either. Good thing regardless of the precinct I vote in the same place.
