By the way

Our voting experience was like The Claw's: no significant lines, small numbers of old people. I'd assumed it was that way all over Massachusetts, which is not exactly a battleground state, but there were long lines elsewhere.

At least I saw other people voting. In off years, sometimes I'm the only person there.

We had, once again, ancient mechanical pull-the-lever voting machines. I think most of New York does.

I've never heard anything to make me like these less than any other voting technology, aside from the fact that no one makes them any more and you can't get parts to repair them.

But at least their chad doesn't hang, and at least they don't run Windows.

I remember hearing things about problems with them years ago, when they were more popular-- mostly unregistered votes, I think. I used them once in, believe it or not, a high-school student government election.
