On the first night of the election a gentleman was telling people to worry about voting straight ticket Democrat. He was later seen fleeing in a McCain-stickered car. Then the rumor/idea went viral on (Fox-owned) MySpace. The Statesman (and at least one TV station) ran a story Thursday saying straight-ticket voting was working and that trying to redo the Obama vote would undo the vote.
On the machine I used you can tell whether or not a box is checked and there's always that nice summary page at the end, but I'm sure there are some other machines outside of Travis County.
Anyhow, have you kids outside of Austin had any early SNAFUs or similar rumors? Any Aggies carving letters in their own faces (but needing a mirror to do it).
And you guys in Austin, reply with some reports or posts or the original warning about this if you spot 'em. Who knows, it might be a good resource if something looks wonky come Nov. 4.
