Voting in NH is a pleasure
Well, at least in my small town. We use paper ballots (as I think the entire state does, though I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not entirely sure). You know at least one of the poll workers, and they're pleasant as can be. The voter roll had an old address, but that didn't cause any problem; we just went ahead and voted, though afterward we had to re-register to record the new address. The only ID required was a driver's license or the last four digits of your SSN (I'm not sure if any proof of the SSN is required).

3. In my town in northern vt
we vote on paper too, and we don't have to provide any ID. It's a great way to vote. (plus we get to vote for Bernie)

7. I love voting in Maine
I've also had the privilege of working at the polls and counting by-hand my neighbors votes. Paper and a # 2 pencil. I live in dread that some crack-headed politician might try to help move my town into the BBV age.

8. In Mass it was terrific as usual
Walk in, give nice old lady my address and name, she hands me a ballot. Fill it out, give nice old guy my name and address, scan ballot and head to work.

I'll say it once again. I would not choose to live anywhere else.
