No levers in Somerset county, New Jersey. They had a nice new "computer" in my district. It basicaly had a gigantic plasticized ballot with big buttons next to each name and little green LEDs behind the plastic. You hit the buttons you want causing the LEDs to light up next to the names you selected, then make a quick check for errors, then hit the "cast ballot" button. Pretty slick. I didn't see any ballot print out or anything; I guess it stored the data on the computer somewhere but I'm not sure. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
