Default Re: A flaw in the Marion county voting process?

I agree with Jan. Forty years of voting in NY state where you are far away from everyone and surrounded by a curtain I was shocked at how your vote here is so public. In early voting in Sumter at the library, you stand in one small room with open touch screens connected to each other. You listen to poll workers label people outloud on whether they are Democrat or Republican . (different screens for different parties) You stand next to voters and poll workers who read the choices and leave you a candy and a sticker when you are done. I accidentally saw another's vote when I was leaving because the screens are so open and so close together. I hope it is in the works to change this way of voting.
