environment for me personally, would be: if the machine is in a corner
where my back is to the wall and a wall on one other side. Therefore, the
machine is facing the public. Every time I go the machine is in the middle of
the floor where you have a lot of backgroun noise and people are able to walk
or watch from behind. Yes, one can turn the screen off so that
no one can actually see how you cast your vote. People naturally want to stop
and look. I definetly, do not want a separate voting site from everyone
just a space where no one is able to invade.</SPAN><SPAN
