First Automated Experience May 10, 2010

I’ve never been more excited as choosing the next president than with experiencing the first automated polls that we will experience. It’s a big leap from behind considering that we should have long gone to adopting the new technology when it comes to making things faster and lighter. Yet when things would have been simplified because of the automated counting, I never thought either that it could pose such inconvenience to the voters. Ten people were only allowed to vote at a time in one precinct which would mean hundreds of others would be waiting their turn waiting for as long as 3 to5 hours just to vote in a matter of 5 to 10 minutes. But, we can always forgive this situation. It’s then the first time that we have adapted to this. If you’re someone who is patient enough to handle this, then I salute you. The important thing probably is, we have started this one and we will become aware then of the possible things that we will encounter in the future. Overall, liked the effort but there’s still a lot of improvement to make.
