  What information are you looking for? The article describes the performance and results of these new machines for an admittedly small election: - "The machines, VotingWorks said, were inexpensive to make, easy to fix and no problem to set up and take down. The hope, the organization said, was to produce shorter lines and more reliable results, a wish that seemed realized on Nov. 5." - "After the initial trial and a second user test at a retirees potluck lunch, the county election commissioners enthusiastically allowed the company to test the machines countywide during the general election on Tuesday." - "The machines took poll workers less than two minutes to fully construct, shortening lines and keeping voters calm. Poll workers uniformly said they loved this feature, as it made the machines easier to maneuver and take down." - "“Everything went just fine,” said Amy Burdine, Choctaw County circuit clerk. “Just as expected.”" You realize that voting accuracy can be determined on the day of the election with these machines? By the way the operation is described, voters use the machine to mark choices digitally, and a paper printout is produced, allowing each voter to look at and confirm the result. According to the article, there were few, if any mistakes or complaints. What other metric are you interested in?
