Participated yesterday in the Republican primaries in NY, mostly for the sake of checking out the new electronic voting machines. Pretty easy stuff, kinda like a standardized test -- you mark the circle next to the candidate on a paper ballot with a bar code. You then insert the ballot into the scanner and the scanner says yay or nay on the scan results. Simple. On thing I'd like to see though is a copy of the ballot given back to me, and a registry where I can check which way that ballot was voted -- to make sure nobody switches my results around.
