I am planning to vote early (probably Saturday) and request a paper ballot. Here is some information on early voting and projected items for voting day November 7:
Machine shortage, confusion over ballots bring long lines, frustration in early voting
From the Salt Lake County Elections Website:
Early Voting
The Clerk’s Office provides voters the option of voting prior to Election Day at an Early Voting Location. Voters do not need an excuse to utilize this convenient voting method. Registered voters may visit an Early Voting Location and cast a ballot in person using a touch screen voting device. Early voting begins 14 days before Election Day, and ends the Friday before Election Day.
In order to be eligible to participate in Early Voting, voters must be registered to vote at least 30 days prior to the election and provide valid voter identification. Valid voter identification means:
* a form of identification that bears the name and photograph of the voter;
* or two forms of identification that bear the name of the voter and provide evidence that the voter resides in the voting precinct.
NOTE: Identification is not required for those who are 65 or older or disabled. If you have questions regarding valid voter identification, please call the Salt Lake County Clerk, Elections Division at (801) 468-3427.
Voting will take place in the Clerk’s Office, Elections Division (2100 South State Street, South Building, First Floor) every weekday beginning on October 10 – November 6 from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and on Saturday, October 28 and Saturday, November 4 from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Deanna,
Did you hear/read my paper ballot horror story? I posted it on One Utah yesterday.
According to a couple of poll workers I’ve talked to, they aren’t trained to do that, so hopefully it was an isolated incident.
Hey Jenni,
No I didn’t but I’ll check it out and thanks.
These days I frantically do my blogging mostly in the morning, am at school by 6:45am and usually not home until after 7pm or 8pm or 9pm in some cases. My reading time has been signicficantly cut with my new administrative responsibilities at school.
I hear ya — I just thought that it was really relevant to your post. I’m curious if you’ll get treated better than I did.
