painless

I just voted -- with no lines, no observers or "challengers" in evidence (in a predominantly Spanish-speaking neighborhood near MacArthur Park that is supposedly known for the ready availability of fake citizenship documents), and no waiting.

Of course, I live in a Kerry-safe state that the Bush campaign hasn't bothered to contest, so this could very well be an unusual experience, today. Still, after reading online news all morning about long lines, allegations of voter intimidation, and generally screwed-up polling places, it was good to just go and vote without problems.
