Pennsylvania, 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, voted 4th at 7 a.m. opening. There were at least 30 people in line outside when I finished. No apparent problems, but the touch sceen voting was curious-- a cartridge which looked like an miniaturized 8 track tape which came out of the poll worker's pocket and went into the machine. There were five machines in our polling place, so mine (#4) took a little longer to boot up as I was the first one to use it.

Hey, that sounds like the machine we used here in my Indiana precinct. They made sure that we knew to hit the "vote" button (with flashing red light) or our ballot wouldn't be cast.

Here in State College PA, we're already having serious problems with the new touch screen machines at several precincts. A couple of polling places did not open at the regular 7:00 AM time. Lines are longer than usual in our little town, according to local radio, and some of that seems to have to do with voting machine problems and slow downs.

Ours used the same in WV - must be one of those Bush/Rove programmed Flash drives.
