Survey 1: I am concerned that we cannot know the machine is counting the vote correctly. Thus, no matter how easy or convenient it may seem to be, we cannot have confidence in the count.
Survey 2: Need to see all the Machines
Survey 3: Not confident about security of vote. Not a good turn out with DRE’s used elsewhere.
Survey 4: Power Failures?
Survey 5: Not enough time to get all questions about opening and closing polls answered.
Survey 6: People who are not computer wise are going to be very confused.
Survey 7: I preferred this one.
Survey 8: It will take first/second time voters much longer to use a touch screen voting machine and the lines will be very long discouraging voters. At $8500 per machine 2-3 machines per polling booth, it will be very costly. If we’re getting rid of the lever machines because of voters with disabilities, why can’t lever machines be made to be more accessible?
Survey 9: Limitations on ability to change ballot. Touch screen malfunctions possible, more expensive.
Survey 10: I feel the placement of the ballot to check how you voted is awkward.
Survey 11: Totally unverifiable
Survey 12: If I had a problem and took a long time I worry about the lines behind me
Survey 13: Bright. Easy to use. Good paper backup
Survey 14: With a sight problem being able to enlarge print was extremely helpful
Survey 15:I do not trust the DRE machines. Many computer experts have come forward to say they are easily manipulated (hacked) and our right to vote and have it counted is too precious to leave vulnerable to that
Survey 16: Would be difficult for computer illiterate voters.
Survey 17: I think the voters are going to be greatly confused
Survey 18: I think we should have both an optical scan machine and a DRE to let voters use the ones they want
Survey 19: This is not the final version of the machine. The remote for disabilities is very confusing. The voting screen could not be more clear
Survey 20: I am afraid that people that are not computer literate would be apprehensive and uncomfortable using it.
Survey 21: I think a large portion of the voting public might find this machine confusing to use
Survey 22: Enlargement feature good
Survey 23:I like this one person in the booth and a vote
Survey 24: Compared with the optical this machine is more user friendly, handicapped accessible, and overall more adaptable to all.
Survey 25: Touch does not always work.
Survey 26: Essential is that them be voter/election verifiability. Machine reliability, long term value. Can machine be programmed or at least used, if we go to instant voter run off elections?
Survey 27: I liked that I could blow up in size parts of the ballot making it easier to read. This machine levels are playing field for candidates from all parties. I liked the receipt and that when I voided my vote is said so on the receipt to there were no human hands handling those reports. I didn’t use the propositions
Survey 28: This machine is especially good for the handicapped, blind, color blind, wheelchair, para & quadriplegic
Survey 29: I find that this machine was very easy to read easy for handicapped people, it’s a great machine, not as hard as I thought
Survey 30: The paper copy seemed to small print to be able to ok your voting inequality
Survey 31: If one leaves booth ½ through can’t another voter change ballot (and vote twice) Was it clear how your would end the voting process, Was it clear the votes would not be tampered with, enlarged visual image is distinct advantage, before polls open how vulnerable is screen(I didn’t see its storage mode)
