... smells like democracy.

So I get to the polling place and see they're having printer problems. I chill in the short line and when the woman in charge pulls the power chord on the printer to reboot it I give her a thumbs up. We laugh.

They reload the paper and presto! The printer works! I get the first sheet out and mark away. I do sort of miss the old mechanical voting machines with their clicks and chunk-chunk sounds - not to mention the curtain closing and opening but they were getting long in the tooth even when I started voting back in the last century.
