I'm nervous about voting this time, but excited to vote for Obama and dems again. Did you encounter any problems with the machines (which I hate) or people trying to mess with people trying to vote?

And that helped ease concerns of those who had not used the touchscreen machines.....the only thing wrong with the machines IMO....is no paper trail......we need to get that changed......computers can be hacked.

No harassing of voters that I saw.....one machine had a problem but they were working on it when I left.......lots and lots of voters inside....it was exciting to finally vote!
