I'm curious about the different voting procedures. I have always voted using either a switch or pushbutton technique (keep in mind that I have only been voting for 10 years), but this time I had to connect the head and tail of an arrow pointing to each choice. Different districts seem to do this differently even in the same town. How did you record your vote? Does anyone know why it is different or how each technique is decided upon?

Where I vote (Santa Rosa, CA), you just have to fill in the bubbles on the scantron sheet. No levers or anything fun like that. I kind of wish we had something cool to make voting seem less like taking the SAT. by the way, I did absentee so no waiting in line. Yahoo. I would hate to imagine the moblie home park (my polling location) crowded. katie http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~stohlman/ At 02:25 PM 11/7/00 -0600, Biklen, Andrea wrote: >I'm curious about the different voting procedures.

We were having this discussion today at work. The first time I voted, there were little needle-like things where you punched holes for whomever you wanted to vote. Today there was a lighted board and you just touched the screen for your candidate (GORE!). Another girl from New Hampshire actually used good ole paper and pencil! - -----Original Message----- From: Biklen, Andrea [mailto:BiklenA@AIB.EDU] Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2000 3:25 PM To: edheads@efohio.com Subject: RE: Folk the Vote... 15 minute wait for District 12 in Des Moines, IA at 2:00 this afternoon.

I just thought I should redirect us back to an EFO related topic before mass unsubscription. I voted for Eddie. The Folktarian Party. Andrea P.S. Who would be Eddie's running mate?

No levers or anything fun like That's what some of my coworkers did (we were just talking about the voting "machines.") Mine was kind of neat. It's a big "easel" that's covered with a sheet of paper that has the ballot printed on it. (Looks like it came from a plotter...) You press through the piece of paper to the board behind it to signify which candidate you want. Once you make a selection, a red light iluminates and shines dimly through the piece of paper. Very easy, and quick too. ===== - -- Schuyler Stultz Former and future AT thru hiker Current Software Developer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.
