Super Tuesday

Voted for the first time here in the US today. It was...interesting, different from when I voted last back in Manila. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that the voting booths were not touch screen, instead relying on dials and buttons; what was also weird was that my ballot was then printed out. What? No going to some database? I suppose it's all for security's sake, but that does seem a bit antiquated.

Also disappointing was the fact that they didn't even bother asking me for an ID, relying on my knowing my home address for verification. I could've been faking! Then again, it was evening already, so the volunteers might've just been wanting to go home.
