I dunno what that means.... but... I did it. I figured I'd do it now, rather than wait for election day and incur long lines, crowds, overfilled parking lot, etc. etc.... I was out there at 6:55am, while it was still dark, waiting for a 7am opening.
I was 16th in line.
By the way, I noticed that when I went in, showed my ID, signed the electronic pad, the ballot was printed "on demand" and handed to me. I thought they had been pre-printed. Interesting... Not that what was printed appeared any different than the sample ballot I had, but...
