Missouri’s primary election is today, and several St. Louisans are sharing their voting experiences online.
Rocked the paper vote this morning. IDK why b/c I'm all about technology but I really enjoy filling in those ovals.

Why did you vote today, Eammon? That whole "Vote or Die" campaign still resonates. I want to live.

I just voted. The electronic machine made so much noise I thought it was going to make me a smoothie.

@cmillburg @STLonAir My polling place never has stickers and I am bitter about it. @#DemocracyProblems

Told the three year old all morning that we were going voting later. She was crushed afterward, saying, "But mama, I wanted to go boating!"

I voted in Missouri! I think I was the 46th person to vote at my electronic booth. Not great… for 2 total booths at my polling station.

My polling place is a huge school, and I spent 15 minutes walking around the building trying to find where I needed to vote.

After voting, I unwrapped a @Dove_Chocolate #Promise that said, "There is a time for compromise, it's called 'later.'" #GoVote #BeHeard

Getting my vote on … excited about that. Not so excited about seeing how awful the UX is. #vote #stl
