When I went to my precinct in Berkeley to vote today, I saw some poor poll worker down on his knees trying to figure out how to get the electronic ballot box to work again after a ballot had gotten stuck in it.

Thank goodness I had my absentee ballot with me and just gave it to the poll worker.

Had it been me -- with my bad knees -- the whole electronic voting process in south Berkeley woulda been screwed!
