Electronic voting experience

I forgot to mention yesterday that I tried one of the newfangled electronic voting machines. I hesitated for a second, but the polling official assured me that there was a paper trail. The interface was a bit odd, but overall it was pretty painless.

The interface consisted of a scrollwheel, an "Enter" button, a "Next Page" button and a "Previous Page" button. Each page would have a a couple of different seats and propositions. You could use the scrollwheel to move through the candidates and propositions. You could scroll to the next/previous page or use the scrollwheel the whole way through. When you were done, it'd print out to a small, closed printer on the side and you could see your final choices before you confirm it.
