CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: Well, as we told you a little -- a little while ago, Georgia voters are going high tech this election casting their ballots on a new touch-screen machine today. Paul Crawley of CNN Atlanta affiliate WXIA with us this morning. I see the machine there, Paul. I know they've really been trying hard to educate the voters in Georgia on how to use this new machine.</s>PAUL CRAWLEY, WXIA-TV REPORTER: Actually, this is a microwave. No, just kidding. But officials here in Georgia are saying it should be that easy, Catherine, whether it's microwave or ATM. This is the touch-tone voting machine. This is a sample. We'll show you how it works. Fairly simple, you just punch a candidate in each category and move through the ballot. These are amendment questions here or samples of them. And then what it does after you've gone through it like that, it'll review your ballot, show you the ballots that you've cast or the votes you've cast and ask is this in fact your vote? You have a chance to redo it if not. Once you have, you simply cast it and remove the card that they've given you. And then this is stored electronically to be unloaded later at the end of the day by poll officials and then sent to the Georgia Secretary of State's office. Significantly, Georgia is the first state in the nation to vote all electronic today. There were problems, as you recall, with machines like this in two Florida counties in their September primary. However, Georgia officials hope they can avoid that through good training. Live in DeKalb County, Paul Crawley for</s>CNN. CALLAWAY: All right, Paul, thank you.
