problems)

This is a problem that we have in Delaware.  We have been using 
electronic machines for over 5 years that have a large green VOTE button 
at the very bottom of the machine.  It is at a convenient level for 
someone in a wheel chair but below the field of vision for people 
standing in the booth.  The VOTE button does not move the curtains.  So 
some people just leave with out pressing the button.   I am not sure of 
the policy concerning the workers pushing the vote button or just 
resetting the machine for the next voter.
