I've had some problems with the electronic voting machines in the past.

Maybe some people just attract problems.  I've never had a problem with an electronic voting machine.

I have so many questions about this, but I guess I can sum them all up rather simply.......


WHY?

Mahoning County wants to emulate the Federal Govt. by spending money they don't have.

I vote absentee.  No lines, no signing in - do it on my own time.

I did prefer the electronic machines when they switched over to them.  Mahoning County was the first place I voted that did not have electronic machines when I moved here in the early '90's.
