Well some whiz kid in Trenton came up with the new voting machines. Let me take you through the process:
1.First you meet some little old lady who is hard of hearing. She tries to get your name and finally she gets the computer scree you have to sign in on. She lost the sign in pen. She finds another sign in pen. You then have to sign a paper receipt as well. Then she gives you a "receipt" along with a blank long piece of paper you take to the ballot box.
2. Inside you insert the long sheet of paper. Then you get a scree that you have to assume you touch it somewhere to start.
3. Up comes the ballot. Going to enter my choices it automatically fills in the column for the other side. Now I have to delete them one by one and start over. Finally I find the place on the screen that says to enter the votes.
4. But wait, I must review my printed ballot now behind some long plastic screen in tiny letters. As far as I know it could have included Vladimir Putin! The clock is ticking. The lines get longer. I want out of this techno hell!
5. Finally check the entries, looks kind of OK, then pus the button on the screen to escape. Ooops, I guess I forgot something, I had to click on another key.
6. So out I come but I see my wife even worse. Her system crashed and two staff are trying to reboot this mess.
In the old day you just clicked a knob and pushed enter. Now, some moronic software designer came up with this mess. And by the way, in my opinion, in New Jersey the organizations dominate voters.
Pity.
