how about a trial timing of how long it takes people to vote before the election?

Hi All,

     I've just been reading something about the interaction of voters with machines in 2004 in one state.  With a long ballot, some people with limited English skills, and machines cancelling people's votes when they took too long, some people took an hour on a machine.

     Part of the solution to lines is to have enough machines.  Another would be to have people prepared for how they were going to vote ahead of time.  Could we get the clerks to do tests before the election, using people who were and were not prepared, people whose English was poor, etc?
