Sad state of affairs when less than half the folks that can vote actually do.

Yeah it is

Personally, I feel that if you don't vote, then you don't have the right to complain or revel in a candidate's victory.

I feel the same about people that intentionally spoil their vote

Yep'!

They never mentioned security at the voting stations
Was it any different than normal

Y'all got it right.

I don't know about security in other areas, but in our little corner of the world it's not a major concern. The General and I walked in to vote in our little garage-sized polling station and the lady recognized us from previous years' voting!

That's good

What Tom said. Our (Patty and I) voting place is our church, it's the only non political "Public" building in our ward that meets the polling place requirements.

Patty and I walked in and by the time we got to the table to sign in they already had our names pulled up to sign.

We live four miles outside a little town of 256 people.

Good to hear
