Sinsull is correct about Richmond, Maine. Our total population is about 4,000; the eligible voters are about 3,000 and I would expect about 70% to vote this year. And though there is only one polling place in town, the high school, once you get there and get through the line there are 8 voting cubicles.

It would speed up the counting process considerably if they would use optical scan forms. In some of the larger towns in Maine such forms are used and each voter feeds them through the scanner, and the form is available if there is need for a recount.

Cheerily,
