We had those old lever voting machines up until last year. I remember my mom voting with those machines back when I was a toddler.

I have to say that there was something satisfying about throwing that big red lever and hearing the machine go CHA-CHUNK! But I much prefer the new optical scanner system. It's quicker, it's quieter (!), the scanner will spit your ballot out if it can't read it, and there are actual physical paper ballots to count if any problems arise.

I love that sound. Ever since I was little - I just love that sound.
