Acting as precinct judge, county commissioner Avis Gunter inserted a card into MicroVote's Infinity Voting Panel.Units are on display at the Republican and Democrat booths in the merchant's tent on the fairgrounds. A series of questions appeared on a black and grey screen, like, "What's your favorite animal at the fair?" and "What's your favorite fair food?" A second page, accessed with the push of a button, asks voters if they ever used a punch card system and whether or not they prefer new method. A "X" appears in a box beside the voter's selection and the selection is highlighted. Unlike the punch card method of voting, votes can be reviewed and changed. A red "final" button locks in the ballot.That final step was overlooked by several people as they away from the booth. "That will all be explained by the judge," Gunter said of the new contraption.
