NJ introduced new electronic voting machines. What a MESS! The Boston Carpetbagger must be behind this. We have a right to a secret ballot. BUT with these new machines one gets a tagged, with your name, ballot sheet, used to record your vote. The software in the machine is grossly flawed from a human factors perspective in my opinion and in my experience. The elder folks as well as the work generation spent 10-20 times longer trying to get through the process. My luck is that I have spent years getting through Microsoft software so I can work around anything!
However., it is NJ and my vote is useless anyway. The gerrymandered district insures the election of the State chosen Rep. As I responded to the poll watcher also said: "Thank you for voting" and I said "What difference does it make!" Stalin had a fairer system in my opinion and in my experience!
As the local press notes:
Morris County spent nearly $5 million this year to replace its 20-year-old voting machines. But some of those machines rolled out to local precincts for Election Day are malfunctioning, poll workers say, while another town is struggling to accommodate a large voter turnout with half the complement of voting machines they have received in the past. Chester Township Council President Michael Inganamort, on the ballot this year for mayor, said he was "concerned" about waiting times of more than 90 minutes for District 2 and 3 voting this morning at Town Hall. ... The Morris County Commissioner Board in late 2021 authorized the purchase of 134 ES&S machines at a cost of $4.9 million. But a delay in authorizing the funds resulted in only partial delivery before the June primary, forcing some of the old Dominion machines back into use.
In my opinion and in my experience these machines are a total disaster.You get to sign in digitally, and thus questions regarding signatures may arise, you get 4 pieces of paper, then escorted to the booth where the instructions make changing the Registry in W11 is trivial. Add to this elderly people totally unaccustomed and you have a mess. It is all too common with any useless political appointee!
