Rain Causes Scattered Problems With New Voting Machines 06 Nov 2007 (CT) Rain caused minor problems Tuesday with new optical scan 'voting' machines at polling places in South Windsor, Hartford, and New Britain, Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz said. Voters brushed their paper ballots against wet coats or other wet surfaces, then tried to feed them through voting machines, causing the machines to jam. In those cases, backup machines were pressed into service and voters were allowed to cast their ballots again. :eyes:
