Voted this AM in Los Angeles.

I dropped my absentee ballot off at my polling place. I always do absentee now so I have the ballot on hand in advance. My schedule can sometimes interfere with my ability to go vote in person, especially if there's much line. This way I just drop it off, takes all of 2 minutes ont he way to work. But I also could have mailed it in - I just don't really trust the post office 100%, lol.

Only one problem that I observed. I asked the young female poll worked whether I should feed my optiscan ballot into the scanner like everybody else was doing and she said no. She told me to put it into the mailer envelope (no problem so far) but then she told me NOT to sign the place on the envelope where it says to. I happen to know that IT SAYS IF YOU DON'T SIGN YOUR VOTE IS NOT VALID, so i admit to jumping all over her, telling her she was wrong, and upbraiding her for giving BAD INFO to a voter that would result in the ballot being tossed. I demanded a pen so I could sign it and did so and they put it in the box. But I was pretty unhappy that she was giving out BAD INFO and I told her as much, and not in a soft voice.

Idiots.
