How do you vote in your area? Not who did you vote for, but what is the ballot like?
When I was in HS we brought in polling machines, and you'd go inside, pull the curtain for privacy, and then there were a bunch of little levers to pull to make your selections.
I thought when I last voted (4 years ago) that we slipped our paper ballot into a panel, and then used a sharp object to punch out the selection we wanted. (I think these are the ones involved in the whole "hanging chad" controversy last time, though that was in FL, not WA.)
Anway, when I went to vote this time, I saw people carrying around their paper ballots, and there were little bubbles to color in for your selection! Isn't this going waaaaay backwards? I was surprised everything wasn't computerized!
In fact, they did have a new option that was electronic, basically using a credit-card type thing that you plugged into a machine which then displayed your ballot on a monitor. It was a touch screen and you just touched the box you wanted to select and it would fill in an x on the box onscreen. You just touched it again to de-select.
And NO CURTAIN! I was surprised, because people were walking around behind me and it
bugged me! I felt like anybody could watch me as I cast my votes, reading along with me on the screen! (I don't think anybody was doing that, but there was nothing to stop them.)
