change. However, in lieu of the voting scandals that erupted after the two most recent
presidential elections, registered voters in Vermont were demanding something new. State
voting officials have installed high-tech electronic voting machines in every region across the
state, and people couldn't be happier. From a list of all individuals filing a Vermont State
Income tax form, a total of 1000 individuals were randomly selected and contacted by state
officials to take part in a survey on the new machines. Of the 845 who responded to the
survey, 636 gave favorable reviews while the remaining 209 were still skeptical. "Times are a
changing, and for some people it may take a little longer than others!" exclaimed one
enthusiastic supporter.
