Reply #43: not so much in Texas

[Kip Humphrey]

When I voted the Democratic slate in 2004, the eSlate registered GW Bush for President. If I had not the patience to scroll back to the top of the ballot when I reviewed before casting (the review screen opened the ballot at the bottom), I would not have seen this flip. Correcting the presidential vote only reset it, resulting in no vote for President. Again I scrolled up the ballot in review (the ballot was very long because of all the judges) and discovered the no vote. I selected Kerry again. Upon the 3rd review, all was good & I cast my ballot.

While I waited to vote (45 mins), no one I watched voting ahead of me spent nearly the time it took me to review the ballot 3 times (maybe no one ahead of else voted the Democratic slate? Except it was a black precinct in Harris County, a Democratic stronghold).

eSlates may reliably perform as programmed, but then...
