I Voted (Pittsburgh, PA) - No secret ballot...

[Junkdrawer]

The voting machines have laughable little wings and are arranged so that other voters MUST pass directly behind you as you vote. Many, many complaints.

1. Yeah, when I voted in the primaries I noticed that here in TN.

There was no privacy. Anyone walking by could see my vote and several people did.

2. Yeah it was ludicrous

People all around. No privacy. No paper trail. I would have complained but I doubt those little old Pittsburgh ladies would have been able to do much at the time. Saw a few people having problems because the 'vote' button was above the touchscreen, instead of on it.

This method of voting is for the birds. They could easily much with the vote. People can easily be intimidated by husbands or wives...

That reminds me. The voting guy saw my wife and I and asked us if we wanted to vote separate. What the fuck!? I mean I know couples where one is a rapid republican, but the other is reasonable, but doesn't want to draw the ire of their crazy spouse. That destroys the possibility of them voting the way they want, and just saying they didn't to avoid 'trouble'.
