I don't know the name of the machine I used.  I was able to review my
ballot and that is how I knew I "voted yes" for issue 3.  So if Issue
3 wins by 1 vote, you know who cast that one vote.  (smile)  I am very
divided on Issue 3.  If I were absolutely and totally against it I
would have demanded something be done.  Maybe I should have done that
anyway.  If we don't work for change then change won't happen.
