Orange County is using optical scanner for this election. March we will be using something called an e-slate machine. I saw one in July and IMO they s**k. If you get easily confused by electronic gadgets, you will be confused by the screen.

Orange County is using optical scanner for this election. March we will be using something called an e-slate machine. I saw one in July and IMO they s**k.

We have used eSlates in Harris County (Houston), Texas for a year now, and, while I was initially skeptical, I now have high confidence in them for many reasons that I won't elaborate on in this thread. The essential thing is to have friendly poll workers help explain the system to voters, particularly computer-shy voters, the first few times. FReepmail me if I can answer any questions about those machines.

Apparently only parts of Orange Co. have this optical scanner. As discussed in posts previously, here in No. Orange County, we had a single-sheet large paper ballot.
