what kind of voting machine was used? did you have any problems/issues voting?
we have the new "touch-screen" machines, which worked like a charm.....

Absolutely yes. I vote every election. That is my debt to all the armed services, past and present.
We had the touch screen machines, and it went smooth as glass. In and out in under ten minutes including signing in and everything.

Yes, I voted for the first time yesterday. I'm 19. We had the option of touch screen or paper. I did the paper, and I voted straight Democrat. I than put it into a machine that read the vote.

We have the old lever machines, but it worked.
It's a sin not to vote---I really believe that. I voted and I mostly got what I wanted. The message was sent and it takes lots of voters to do that.
I do wish we had those new touch screen machines. It's like voting in 1965 in Western New York.

I voted had no issues either, there is actually an activivst group that was available and a number for voters to call if they had any issues these issues I heard on the radio were not as bad as expected cause some areas of the population had complained of disenfranchisement issues the last couple of elections but apparently things have improved

Yes I voted yesterday, and yes, we did have the touch screen machines. Although, I do not think we should be using them. I think there absolutly needs to be a paper trail of our votes.

We had the paper where you filled in the square. Like the old scantron machines from highschool. Then when you were finished you put it in a machine that read it and thanked you for voting.

We had a mixture of e-voting and this fairly large paper ballots with incomplete arrows...and you had to connect the two parts of the arrow (pointing to the candidate's name) to vote.
There seemed to be a lot of problems transmitting the votes from the polling places to the HQ though.

we have the touch screens here also, but we also have the option of getting an absentee ballot by mail w/o giving a reason for wanting one; I took that option and vote a week and a half ago by mail; no lines and no bad weather!
