Before I went in, they had said that there were problems with the new machines. So I decided to use the old machine for fear of my vote not being counted. Also, there was another voter that used the BMD Machine, had problems with it, got up and walked out knowing that his vote didn't go in. Then I guess he thought about it and came back bringing the problem up to those in charge. Unfortunately though, legally he cannot vote again because he left the premises even though his vote didn't go through. If he had mentioned it during voting, then they would have been able to fix the problem. Now, he would have to go and get a court order in order for his vote to count, but it's too late. Oh well, there's a lesson to be learned. No matter, the right man won!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Lash To: infoshare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 1:45 PM Subject: [infoshare] Re: audio of our voting experience Hi. It was really super great of you and Maria to talk about your voting experience. I also used the talking/braille voting machine. Mine had a volume problem. I kept repeating a lot of the info because I was so excited and a bit distracted. I finally got it done and, wow! it felt great to be able to do that all by myself. Especially when it came to the proposal: When I used to go in the booth, the proposals were never read. I also got a little chinese thrown in. Hurray for Obama. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynnette To: infoshare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 9:50 AM Subject: [infoshare] audio of our voting experience Morning, All.
