Instead of touch-screen or SAT type ballots, in New York we use a lever voting system. Before we vote we are given a sample ballot with all the names of the candidates and propositions and there’s even an illustration of the levers above the names. It looks exacly like the ballot you see when you go into the booth to vote. Inside you pull the lever for whatever candidate you want and then pull a handle and your vote is recorded and the curtain opens. Done deal, and only takes a minimum of 30 seconds. I’ve never had to wait more than five minutes to vote and I’ve never been asked to show ID. Why do some places make voting so complicated? The answer definately lies in Ohio and Florida! I’ve heard that in New York we may get touch-screens and I’m terrified! I don’t want to lose a painless, simple procedure and get that mess and complication! I feel sorry for the elderly.
