Johnson County, Kansas must just do it right. Since I first voted in 1996, to today, my experience has always been a breeze. Knowledgeable workers, quick moving lines, easy to use machines (i've never voted on anything other than a voting machine). Short, succinct, easy to follow instructions. Easy in, easy out. For 16 straight years. Not one problem.
Amazes me that other places have so much difficulty....
