These big mysterious, metal, mechanical machines went out of style in York County, Pa., a decade ago

election
This might seem like an easy History Mystery quiz, but it’s been about 10 years since these big metal boxes were taken out of service in York County, Pa. Time passes fast.  They were sold in 2006 after their electronic replacements successfully operated earlier that year.  So a partial generation of folks never had the opportunity to use these mechanical machines. OK, what are these? Do you miss them? Answer. Also of interest: Check out these past History Mystery quizzes and (fun) tests.
