Here in Morris County, NJ, we have the headphones, but everyone
chooses to go with assistance, instead, once they're told that the
headphone process takes about half an hour.
We had a lousy time yesterday; the Fools at the Top removed all the
upside-down printing from the signature books, so that we either had
to spin the books around and around or stand in front of and facing
the table just like the voters. It roughly doubled the time to sign in
each voter, and is going to make the cross-check error count soar,
because:
Me: [handing voucher to voter] You are number 156. [writing 156 in
book]
has now become:
Me: [handing voucher to voter] You are number 156. 156. 156. 156.
[spinning book, knocking pen and voucher pad on floor] 156. 1 156.
156. 156. 156. [writing 156 in book]
And then there was the voter who took "write-in" a little too
literally. We had to shut down one of our two machines until the
county flying squad could come to clean the ink off.
