I just went to find some info in my county, and found that 53% are Rep, 27% are Dem, and 20% are non-partisan. - JaxSean Oct 27, 09:37 5
- oh, where did you find this? - ty97 Oct 27, 09:41 3
  - I went to my county's Sup. of Elections page and they had a link for Election Results. -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 27, 09:43 2
    - On the Duval County webpage (which is all of Jacksonville), they list it right on the header! - JaxSean Oct 27, 09:48 1
      - Dem 98,755, Rep 146,587, Other 73,385 -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 09:54
- Yikes! -- nm - Don Homer Oct 27, 09:37
I don't remember early voting being such a big deal in the past? I've always voted absentee (by mail) -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 27, 09:34 2
- I'm pretty sure we haven't had it in the past. -- nm - mara Oct 27, 09:38
- 2004 stats say that 60% of the votes cast in my county that year were during early voting. - ty97 Oct 27, 09:35
I voted Saturday. I love early voting. And the new touchscreen voting booths were great. -- nm - pmb Oct 27, 09:32 6
- We've had the touchscreens for a few years now. They are nice, but no paper trail is a big negative. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 27, 09:34 5
  - i don't see the benefit of individuals getting a "paper trail" other than soothing their minds. - Inigo Oct 27, 09:45 4
    - because if the database is hacked after the vote is verified it would be immediately evident by examining the paper record -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 09:46 2
      - If you have suspicion of that particular vote being changed, sure. - Inigo Oct 27, 09:52 1
        
        We all know computer problems happen - what's the backup system? - ty97 Oct 27, 09:56
    - I don't want a paper trail for me. I want a paper trail for backup for the election folks. -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 09:46
