I got to the polls at 6:40 this morning, the wait was about 45 minutes since we only had 5 voting machines.

In past small local elections they've had as many as 16 machines at the same location; it's a bonehead move to cut back on the biggest election of all time. They said anyone in line at 7 pm can still cast their ballot, I'd hate to be that guy still waiting to vote when the results are announced.

In Kansas we vote to retain Judges so the ballot ended up being 6 pages on-screen requiring a little bit of simple tech to navigate the touch screen options. Easy for anyone that uses a computer, but I can see where the elderly might get confused or suspect they'd voted differently than they wanted by accident.
