I saw the new system today (NOT Deibold)...and it reminded me of when they installed the old punchcard (dangling chad) system in the 80's...it took them 4 elections to figure out how to work that system. I remember results not coming in until very, very late.
I expect we'll have a long night in the 6th and other "cross county" elections...hopefully not like the "good old days"...when the various party organizations would withhold votes and precincts...and getting a final tally didn't happen until long after midnight.
If you guys need coffee...give me a call.
Cheers...
On edit: The poll watchers at my precinct said they had few problems with the new system, but that the old machines were jamming up. Go figger...
