Hello
As I'd doen it as well last Saturday here in Norwalk at the Norwalk Town Hall and the head of voting Stewart Weller I think his name was very informative of the the technology. He'd had the equipment on a very nice cart with the printer on the bottom with the tablet on top of it with the side key pad that was maybe the size of a mouse or a little bit biger which is the audio device. He'd said that had gotten the carts from some place to make it easier and safer going into all of the places of voting . Stewart had said although are locked in the schools over night one can never take a chance this si why said that all the equipment goes onto this cart and then gets locked.
I'd liked the fact that there was disposable ear cossens and wipes t owipe things off, but if one did have their own ear phones they'd work. As I carry a pair of ear phones and they'd worked for me . As passing this along if anyone wanted t obring their own verses using the ear pads and have no issues as some may have.
I'd though that was very informative of the voting process as to who is voting as it does take longer with the audio part as it has to read everything the nverses using the touch screen as that was interesting too as that of the form print out is kept private for those who wish to use that part of it. I can sa ythat I'd felt that this equipment was a lot better then the phones to call in where no one knew how to use it or if they did at the polling place it wouldn't work as was horrific as this is a better fit fro mthat.
I wish everyone a very good experience with the equipment tomorrow and do hope that everyone does go out and vote at least strength i nnumbers.

Hi, Jim,
I did the practice ballot voting sample tonight and it worked like a charm. I'm sure that Tuesday will be a great success with this new voting apparatus. I'm looking forward to using this on Tuesday.
Thanks, and congratulations for your new board position. You'll do a wonderful job!
