Have you voted?

I swung by my polling place on the way into work and there were only a few people in line. Really hot, but maybe that's just because I was trying out the new electronic equipment with the flywheel. It wasn't hard to use, but because it was new I didn't grasp every step on the first try. And, like many other voters, I'm not happy about being forced to choose just one party, restricting my choices. I was one of the younger voters, and that concerns me, because no matter how vibrant a fellow I might be, I'm not in my twenties any more, or else why do the twentysomething staffers in the KGMB newsroom keeping called me sir? Do I look like a sir to you? I didn't think so. Maybe the younger part of the electorate comes at a different hour. Your comments on the election, and on your own voting experience, are welcome, and maybe I'll be able to mention some of them on the air tonight, and on this website, where they're gonna have me streaming coverage to you.

Aloha Howard, I did have a bit of trouble voting because the new directions are not that clear. My ballot was spoiled so I got a new one. I think that the nice people at the polling area should let you know the new difference.

My wife and I voted at 11:30am this morning at our precinct, Aliiolani School in Kaimuki. It was fairly empty, no line to get our ballot but most voting booths were full. I did notice that we were one of the younger people voting (mid 40s). Although most of the precinct officials were older than us.
