Long lines....
I didn't mind the eSlate machine much...but I didn't like the feeling of trusting the screen when it said "Your Vote Has Been Processed"
I WOULD LIKE A RECEIPT WITH THAT!

Spring and we are still in the stone age on paper ballots. The lines are long for early voting so I am going to wait.

Paper ballots have advantages that computers just can't match. The only downside is slow counting. If it takes being in the stone age to have a fair election, so be it.

I do not mind the e-slate machines but I do not trust them. We need a paper trail.
