The scantron of democracy
It's kind of funny to us that the Rent Is 2 Damn High Party gets its own line, but some of the other parties have to share.
Also, it was a little disappointing to find out the vaunted privacy sleeve is actually... a regular manila folder with "privacy sleeve" written on it in ballpoint pen.

I saw that headline, and in my befuddled brain, read 'The Scranton of Democracy' and was immediately concerned about a truck full of bananas.

My privacy sleeve was a long white plastic folder!

At least yours said "privacy sleeve" - they didn't even bother at the Presby church on State!

No bananas, but there's certainly 30,000 pounds of _something_ headed towards Albany...

Though, really, I don't care who knows how I voted - I am a proud liberal democrat! :)

As I mentioned on the other post, at my polling place in Troy privacy sleeves were completely non-existent, and everyone in the room was packed close enough that several could likely have read your ballot if they wanted, especially the inspector manning the scanner.

I just had a plain manila folder, and I like the illusion of privacy. The workers/attendants were a hover-y, but helpful. My years of standardized testing stood me in good stead :)

Mine was a nice white long one in Troy but they inspector at the Scantron then had me take it out (in front of him) and feed it into the machine face up...
