One guy couldn't wait to tell me this:
got there right at 7. not a big line. staff were old but professional. my polling place had one of those new electronic voting machines but i took a paper ballot. by the time i filled out my ballot there was a line about 5 or 6 deep at the electronic machine and some old poll worker guy was trying to help a voter figure out how to use it. those machines are a worse idea than touchplay if you ask me.
Technology and old people aren't a comfortable fit. Yet. Give it another 20 years.
Everything should have a paper trail. Optical scanners are a tried-and-true technology and I've never heard anybody, Democrat or Republican, complain about them.
Update: And what do you know? Instapundit has a link to a story about multiple reports of crappy electronic voting machines.
