[blindlaw] Voting Anonymity

[LockeMilholland]

I voted today using an automark voting system for the first time.  The 
screen faced the wall.  The system used a jaws program designed for reading 
ballots and allowing a five button interface to select candidates.  The 
volume control was adjustable on the machine.  Listening was accomplished 
using a headset.


For the first time in 13 years and the second time in my life, I voted 
privately.

I hope to get a job with one of the people I voted for, so it is one of my 
most informed and important elections.
