Thread Name: BS: Lines at the Polls
Subject: RE: BS: Lines at the Polls
Because of so many problems in the past, Ohio has tried to rectify the situation. Early voting has made a difference already as the lines in the major cities are not (at this point) very large at all. There was a massive turnout during the early voting period.

Here in little Bremen in rural Ohio, our polling location (2 blocks away) was well equipped with working voting machines, at least 3 times more than in the past. They offered paper ballot options and had three screened tables setup to accomodate 9 people at a time for that option. Our touch-screen machines were easy to use and gave you multiple options for review and change before casting the ballot including a review of the printed ballot. Karen and I were gone from home only 25 minutes.
