[Sportsandrec] Voting problems

[David Andrews]

Carly, first of all, please watch your language.  Some people are 
more easily offended then I.

Secondly, different things are important to different people.  I have 
voted with an accessible machine, and it was not a hassle, and even 
if it was, the powerful feelings brought on by being able to vote 
privately and independently outweighed any potential hassle.
