In person. We have machines where you pull the levers. They never ask for id - they find me in their book and I sign my name below a copy of my signature. I guess they're supposed to make sure they match, but I'd be much more comfortable if they asked for id.

My boss just registered to vote - I sent him with his ID, but they didn't even ask for it!

My Daddy and I are going together to vote on election day before I go to work.

That sounds like a bureaucratic screw up. Is there any way for these younger voters to get the mess worked out so that they can vote in this election?

We vote by mail. I think i heard that 60% in WA State vote absentee. However, we don't like voting way ahead of time in case some new info on a candidate surfaces right before election day. I used to think voting by mail at the last minute made my vote not count but our last Gov. race was decided by 163 votes so the absentees decided it. It is the same candidates this year and is expected to be very close.

I am going in person, and Fox is looking forward to it because this is his first election he has ever voted in. He does, however, have to travel back to his home town to do so

The voting machines where you pull the levers almost sound like slot machines to me. Never seen one out here as we use Scantron type cards.
