Bev and Jerry, that's the same system we have in Alaska. About four years ago we upgraded to the Opti-Scan machines. We used to have the punch lever system; I don't know if there were problems with it, but it had gotten old and parts were not available, they said. I was working at the State Division of Elections when we switched over to the new system. I won the pool on which community would report in first! It took 11 minutes after the polls closed.
