Title: Privacy When Using The Voting Machines
Post by: jay on November 07, 2007, 06:41:28 AM
While waiting in line to vote, I couldn't help but notice that the open side panels of the voting machines made it possible for bystanders to watch the voter manipulate the voting screen.  Maybe it didn't bother other people but it bothered me.  When it was my turn to vote, I pulled the side panels inward and parallel to each other.  This made it practically impossible for anyone but me to view the screen on the voting machine.

They were all pulled in when we voted at our polling location.

     I didn't really notice, But then I have very little to hide including my vote if someone was that interested let them look.
