With early voting going on arond the country my wife and I decided to go ahead and have the satisfaction of having it completed.  As I wrote in a previous post, I was a bit suspicious of our local clerk here in our little town of 1200 between Milwaukee and Madison, since the early voting was occuring in her home and she has a McCain sign by the driveway and bumpersticker on her car.  I emailed the campaign as well as posted on UppityWisconsinearlier and except for couple people saying this didn't seem quite right there were no alarmed responses or indications what to do instead, so I figured maybe I'm just being paranoid.  I assumed the voting itself would be anonymous, and the votes would be locked up until election day--i.e. there must be a security process involved when a county clerk is partisan so that obvious tampering with the vote is difficult or impossible.

OK, I decided I would like to vote in-person early absentee in
Wisconsin after I've read items encouraging it, and it sounded like a
good way to accomplish the one small, but critically significant step
on my part towards electing Barack Obama/Joe Biden that is now
possible.  Positive results include feeling like my vote is 'in the
bank', allowing the campaign to check me off the list(s), and--child
situation permitting--possibly allowing me to drive others on election day.

I called the local Clerk and found that early voting occurs
at the clerk's house, and I could come vote early by calling and making
sure he/she was home.  So I decided to do it immediately and drive out
to the home, which was not far from the regular voting building used on
Nov 4.  Once I found the right mailbox to the house however, I noticed
a McCain-Palin sign in the driveway and a McCain bumper sticker
on the car.  Probably just unreasonable paranoia on my part caused by
