32. With optical scan machines, one per polling place is enough

From observations in Milwaukee: a polling place may combine two or even three wards, but only one scanning machine is needed--the voters can feed in ballots in seconds. Milwaukee usually has plenty of writing desks for filling out ballots in each location. The bottleneck, if there is one, is at the check-in table or the registration table. Chief inspectors try their best to make it work, sometimes by splitting a ward's poll book in half, thus making two lines instead of one. The election commission tries to hire enough poll workers so things will move along. It also wants to train volunteers who can help out by greeting voters, getting them in the correct line, and so forth
