By the way

Our voting experience was like The Claw's: no significant lines, small numbers of old people. I'd assumed it was that way all over Massachusetts, which is not exactly a battleground state, but there were long lines elsewhere.

At least I saw other people voting. In off years, sometimes I'm the only person there.

...Though we had optical-scan ballots instead of touch-screen machines. The only time I've ever voted with an electronic voting machine was in the 1988 Virginia Democratic primary (one of the few years they even had a primary). I did use a punchcard butterfly ballot in Cambridge once or twice.

It is usually only old people, or no one else.

This year was different. There were about fifty people there when we were there, white, black, hispanic, old, young, everyone. I was impressed with the voter turnout.
