It worked, as there was 91% of registered voters voting.

I voted that way. All you have to do is bring mail (like a hydro bill with your name on it) and ID with you. I voted that way.

I have umpteen strikes against me: no car today, working all but one hour of voting time (can get time off my day job if I have a car) a 25 minute drive from my polling station, long time to vote/long lines (coupled with my work schedule), and NO ID with my current address on it. My husband has some, but he's in Mount Vernon, Washington. And it's in his name. I did not know it was today! I’ll TRY, but things are not looking good.
