Considering the age of the machines, I'm sure that the inner workings are not too sophisticated. But I beleive some type of counter is incremented.
You walk into the booth and pull a lever that closes the curtain. You then pull down the levers for your candidate. If try to pull more than one lever for a set of candidates, it won't let you. You are forced to choose only one. Once you are done, you pull the lever again to open the curtains and record your vote. Voila!

and lifesaver, how does the "levers" thing work? Does it punch a hole?  Please explain, I don't really get it. Thanks!
