<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The ideal 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.</FONT></DIV>
