I love voting in Delaware [View all]

Even though we only have 3 electoral votes and are solidly blue (despite our fake hillbilly culture downstate).

What I like is how our voting machines work---when you check in to vote (all I show is my driver's license) they hand you a blank ballot. You go in the booth, put your ballot in a slot and it gets sucked in. Then you select every name that has a "D" behind it and a lighted up "X" appears next to the person. Then you hit a button that says "Complete" and it sucks the ballot through so it appears behind a glass panel for your review; your selections are printed on it. You then hit "Vote" if it's correct (it always is) and it gets sucked through to be stored. Then you leave, happy to know that you protected democracy!
