What's to keep me from coming back in 20 minutes, and claiming to be my neighbor?
Or even, some person whose name I saw in the big book that is not yet crossed off?

There are far too many ways to perpetrate election fraud.
Let's get this one crossed off!
The people at my polling place know me pretty well. I was the first one to line up and vote in the presidential primary two months ago.

I used to vote by absentee ballot, but I wonder how long it takes for my ballot to be counted, so I dumped that habit and vote when it really matters.
