"A lot of people aren't very worried about it, and when they get to the polls, they feel very comfortable using them," he said. "Those numbers are consistent with what we've heard as we have toured the state. People generally seem to like what we're doing."

The biggest worry for respondents was the security of the machines, as 27 percent said it was either definitely or probably a concern. Only 13 percent were concerned about their vote not being counted or their ballot not being private, while 9 percent thought that the machines might be too complicated.
