Across the line in the North Carolina Valley of Humility we’ll vote May 6. I’m a Republican election judge in Asheville. Early voting is available at the Board of Elections April 17 through May 3. We use optical scan paper ballots where the voters fill in an oval (like the standardized tests in school – and most everyone younger than 75 is used to this). These are fed into machine that counts them on the spot. And Provisional Ballots (paper) are available if for some reason the machine doesn’t function or the voter is in the wrong precinct or whatever.

Gotta love my mother’s favorite geographical descriptor of North Carolina, that:
[i]Valley of Humility,
‘Tween two mountains of Pride.[/i]
