I just voted in Maryland...on Diebold machines. One of the initiatives on the ballot was to allow early voting...and it's already been decided to do away with the machines.

This was the longest line I had been in during my 25 years voring here, but it still took only about 20 minutes. There were about 12 machines, and it all done very efficiently.

It's really interesting how, when standing in line, no one even attempts to talk about their voting preferences.
