• I haven’t voted in person for several years, but all the polling places I remember had all the doors open to the outside air. A basketball gym, a church side-hall, someone’s home garage. And the booths are just curtained frames. But then again, I live in Los Angeles so it’s not freezing in November. Maybe it’s different in Minnesota.

      …here we just have touchscreen kiosks set side-by-side along open tables, no privacy other than the LCD field-of-view…

        How odd! Everywhere I’ve voted in OK, IL and FL had pretty much the same setup, basically a 1/8th scale, standing office cubicle. You got me thinking, I’d be surprised to see anything else!

          …you know, now that i’m really thinking about it, there may be a token 12"x18" privacy screen set on the table between displays, but it doesn’t impede adjacent displays from your field of view at all: it’s more about the suggestion of privacy than actual functionality…
