Reflections on The Machines

So, we voted today. It was the first time that I had used those electronic voting machines, and I'm not sure what to think of them. What worries me is that what little I know about computers is that they break and they break frequently. We're trusting our most sacred secular privilege to the Machines...it's Terminator all over again. What is worse is that these polling stations are usually staffed by retirees who don't much about computers. The man right after us started having problems with his machine, and I don't think they knew quite what to do.
