Info Post
I wasn't compelled by election officials to use the electronic voting machine, but I was offered it's use. I declined. And I didn't spend time looking the machine over because someone was busy using it. There was one machine available here for the three town precincts that all vote in the civic center gymnasium. One is enough here for now since voting goes very efficiently and there's clearly order in the process.

It seemed like a high turnout, but they use the space in the gymnasium to set up tables -- mainly for those who register and vote on voting day, which is legal here and really increases voter participation. Minnesota has a very high voter participation rate generally. It didn't feel crowded though, and I was comfortable using a table that was empty instead of waiting for a carrel.

Too many Republican election workers and not enough Democratic workers in my district, as usual, but I have no complaints of how it went for me to vote today. Use the comments here to report on accessibility at your polling site.
