Why no voting machines?

I read my voting ballot and it said I could vote on a machine at 1033 W. Gardner. So I caught the bus and went down there, but there were no voting machines! Fortunately I took my marked ballot with me as a cheat sheet. I found the precinct and asked the powers that be where the voting machine was, he said they had none. I said, “Not according to what is written on my ballot.” So he told me to follow the signs and I’d find some place to vote.

They had voting tables set up without the machines, arrows pointing to them and everything. These ‘tables’ had no ballots and no pens to mark the ballots. Then if you had a ballot and went through the maze you could put your ballot in the voting box.

They were registering voters, and they were given ballots. What have they done with the voting machines and why do we not have any way of validating our votes…no one checked my identity.
