(20,908 posts)We have same day registration in Wisconsin, so the person doing that was sitting outside.
Its just a one block walk for me, and it was my normal polling station. Apparently another precinct had been added, but it wasn't overloaded like the polls in Milwaukee.
Inside everyone was wearing gloves and a mask, and I wore my own. I wore my coat so I never touched anything.
There were plastic shields in front of the people who had to check your ID.
The one glitch, and its a big one, was that the ballot scanner kept jamming. There were 2 poll workers trying to fix it - one guy without gloves was opening it up and trying to fix it while another person was reading the instructions. After a few minutes a half dozen of us were standing around with our ballots, since we couldn't put them in the scanner.
So they decided they had to call for another machine. One person collected all our ballots and put them in a transparent plastic bag. There were about 8 poll workers who saw her do this so I wasn't worried about my ballot. This could have happened at any election and it probably does.

primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
