Concur. But Election Day voting is not an ironclad guarantee of no hankypanky.

Florida seems pretty secure on Election Day. The people running the show seem to know their jobs. You have to ID yourself which is not the case in every state. Case in point:

During our last election in Minnesota before moving to TV, my wife and I stood in line for quite some time before finally getting to the table where we collected our ballots. My wife was ahead of me in line: she gave her name and address, and sure enough, she was on the list. Came my turn, I just looked at the list, grunted and pointed to my name. I scrawled an illegible signature, collected my ballot, and voted.

I could have been anybody.

Make of that what you will.
