I just voted in Lower Merion Twp., PA
Paper ballots for the first time in my life. It was fairly busy but the community is very aware politically and this was for commissioners and school board and local offices galore (coroner). We take our governance very seriously out here in what is called the Eastern Main Line.
On the way out I wished the Dem candidate good luck and good luck to all of us in perpetuity. He said , “you’re not kidding. We need it”

Welcome to DU
and OMFG those new machines. 
When you check in, you are given a thin long blank sheet of white paper that is the "ballot". You insert the paper into a slot (like the kind that you see on vending machines for paper currency). Then you go through the prompts on the display, including going to a next screen for more ballot options. That chute on the right-hand side is where the ballot will eventually drop down into in order to display a printout of whatever was selected. However there was no lighting within the chute whatsoever - either above or behind where the ballot drops down in there, so it was almost completely unreadable to me (the printed ballot is not touchable - it is inside that chute with the plastic window over it - the pic below of what they look like apparently had someone shine an external light on it for the camera in order to illuminate it).
Once things are verified and you select the onscreen button to confirm your vote, then the ballot sucks back into the machine again and it starts dinging and chiming and whatnot and you're done.
And there was a line (I rarely if ever have had such a line and to have to wait forever at the time of day that I voted). So many folks were confused (I watched a little video the city had put online about how it operates before I left the house). The local noon TV news stations were highlighting the fiasco.
Not actually - but I'm in charge of research of all of the people/issues in the local races for our family. So I dutifully criss-crossed three copies of the sample 2-page ballots with suggested candidates/issue in front of the bathroom mirror last night - the location everyone will see for important stuff. When I woke up my daughter's was gone. I had a brief conversation about the suggestions with my spouse ("Now why are we voting for these people?"
then crossed paths with her as she came out from voting and I went in.
It works for us, and seems to get everyone into the precinct to vote (and prevents my spouse from accidentally voting for Republican judges who happen to be female - since our races are "nonpartisan" .
