[Nfbf-l] Election Day tomorrow

[Mark]

WE had the problem at first of the machine simply not talking.  But, it 
turned out it was a headphone problem.  Another set of headphones, and, 
presto, everything worked.  Also the staff seemed quite eager to help, to 
make sure they could fix the problem, not once did they suggest I vote with 
their assistance, they seemed to recognize that my independence and privacy 
were important to me, and they made it work.  I have never had a problem 
with election staff here in Martin County.

>> Many of you took advantage of early voting as I did.  Thursday I went to

>>
>> Included in this time was having to re-cast my vote due to the fact I was

>> Have a good day.
