Just voted in Hamilton County, Ohio. What a great experience. Kudos to the BoE.

Really crowded but the process was smooth from start to finish. Folks out in the parking lot directing voters to empty parking spaces, no lines to sign in and no wait for one of about 250 little voting tables. Constant stream of people and I’ll bet we were inside about 12 minutes max - and most of that was filling out the ballot.

The fun part was that any time a first time voter showed up at one of the 50 or so sign-in people, the poll working stood up and shouted “First Time Voter”…and lots of people voting clapped and cheered.

My only sadness was wondering why it can’t be this easy for everyone nationwide (or even statewide).
