Thanks for clarifying that!

However, there were several reports of people who could not use the equipment.

The point I was trying to make was that as a citizen, it is our responsibility to know how to use the equipment and to carefully choose who we are voting for.

And ... that responsibility would also include poll workers' knowledge of how the equipment works. Before I went precinct walking, I went to a training class to learn how to do it correctly.

Voter responsibility has been spelled out in the new Florida law- so if they have problems using the system, and choose not to get help- too bad. I read about one guy in Miami who refused to ask for help, because it was more important to him that his ballot be secret than that it be counted. All Rightie, then.

Here's an article about the training (or lack of same) provided to poll workers you might find interesting.
