I opted to vote early you watch what chaos happens on Tuesday, it will be a mess in some places. I don't blame anyone, but the poll workers need to be thoroughly trained and I don't think they have been given much to work with. I went paper ballot as well, I don’t trust the new machines either.

That doesn't make any sense if you look at the situation a little. Helllooooooo! The Sanpete Co. Clerk is a Democrat running for re-election you'd think she'd pad her own pocket if that were the case. Hmmmm! That doesn’t make any sense if you look at the situation a little. Helllooooooo!

I went to vote on Monday and had a poll worker argue with me about Diebold machines before finally giving me a paper ballot. I'm hoping it's an isolated incident, because after talking with the SL County clerk's office today and two poll worker friends I know, that individual went against their training -- which is to provide the voter with a paper ballot when asked. I wrote about the incident with more detail here: http://oneutah.org/2006/10/31/voting-on-a-paper-ballot-dont-forget-to-wear-your-tinfoil-hat/ Hi Pete,

I'm on a mailing list for Utah Count Votes (http://utahcountvotes.org/), but there's so much information out there that it's not well maintained at this point, though the email list is very active. I am pretty scared about whether or not my vote is going to count, and it's not just because I'm in an overwhelmingly Red State, this time. Anyone having a problem really needs to get the word out, whether it's that the machine outright messed up your vote, that it was difficult to use, that the physical box looked as though it could have been compromised, or other irregularities. And I hope everyone will back the efforts to mandate a verifiable paper trail. I heard about Video the Vote (http://videothevote.org/) the other day, and wish it were going on in Utah.
