[Ct-nfb] My experience voting

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, Jim,

Yes, the poll workers where I go to vote are absolutely awesome.  The moderator is so upbeat and very helpful.  She felt worse about her error than I did.  The only thing about the new system is that I wish there were speed choices for the voice on the keypad.  They could use the 7 button for slower and 9 for faster speed regarding the speech.  Well, we're lucky we have what we have, I guess, and we can't have everything.

Take care.

My moderator, who is absolutely wonderful, brought me over to the scanner and the paper kept shooting out.  Go to find out, because there was always paper in the printer with the old phone system, the moderator forgot that she had to insert a ballot rather than the paper.  I voted twice too!  She was so upset with herself and kept apologizing profusely, but I was all right with it because it was the first time this new system was implemented.  I laughed and in the end, so did she, and now all's right with the world.
