Some Voters Say New Electronic Machines Lack Privacy
With all the privacy of a walk-up ATM, but little of the protocol, electronic voting machines on Tuesday left some people feeling exposed. Many voters said they found the touch-screen machines easy to read and easy to use. But they also complained of a lack of privacy and pined for the seclusion of the old-style voting booth. With the new machines lined up close together in crowded polling places -- and offering bright, readable screens -- some felt as if they were voting for an audience.
