I left the house at 6:25 a.m. today. I'm an early bird. Headed the 1/2 a mile down the road to go vote. I was the third person there. After a quick show of my drivers licenses and my signature, I was handed a credit card looking thing and pointed in the direction of a laptop looking device.
It was way cool. I put the card in the slot and instruction on how to proceed came up in less than 5 seconds. I was off and voting. Being a self proclaimed techie, I loved it. The touch screen was great and there was no doubt as I was voting as to checking the right box.
After I went through all my selections, there was a review screen that allowed me to check my selections and make any corrections. Then I pressed the button "cast my ballot"
The credit card looking thing popped out of the machine and I return that to the poll worker. My only disappointment is I didn't get one of those "I voted today stickers" as I left.
I'm happy to see voting has finally embraced technology. I'll really be happy when we are able to vote from home via the internet. Will that ever happen? Who knows.

Wow! That is quite advanced compared to filling out the "scan-tron" sheet here in IN! But don't feel slighted, we didn't get stickers either.
