New Technology the Story as Voters Cast Ballots a New Way

Now it's up to all of you. Some 150,000 people scattered across eleven counties.
I voted this morning at Midtown Tower and was voter number 15 at 8:10AM.
The new paper ballots are being used and while this system is good in many ways, there are some caveats.
You must fill in , no checks or "X" the SQUARE next to the candidates name. Don't be confused by the party symbol, which looks like a voting mark due to the small print.
Take your time and review your votes. Remember there are propositions on the back side.
If you make a mistake, don't be embarrased. Ask for another ballot or for help.
If the vote reader machine says you erred....just take your time for a do-over.
It's easy to do, but it is different.
Oh, don't forget your reading glasses...the print is small.

Small print is difficult and confusing to our senior population and those others with vision difficulties. This needs to be remedied before the next election. No excuses.
