Lack of intimidation is good, though (again, as Bitty pointed out) you need to show ID in so many situations these days that it's less intimidating than perhaps it used to be.
everyone knew their neighbors Well, I did note that the other people in my building voted before me Tuesday, since their names were already checked off on the list of registered voters. Otherwise, not so much knowing the neighbors. Which is less than ideal.
I didn't realize that poll-watching could be so... active. Sounds foolish, perhaps, but I just never thought of that sort of approach.
A lot of this election has made me feel politically naive.
