Couple thoughts come to mind. First it was relatively painless. There was a line and few voting machines in Saratoga Springs and it moved slowly but for the most part everyone seemed fine with it. It was great when you finally cast your votes.
The second part is that the machines appear to be the same as the ones they say are flawed. I did touch one selection and my vote did go to the person above my selection. It was not a big deal though as here in Utah if that happens you can just retap the wrong vote and it removes the vote. You then vote for who you wanted. The problem is that the names are too close to the line separating the candidates so your finger can accidentally go over it. You can overcome this by just touching the checkbox instead of the name. Problem solved.
Hope that information helps.
