We get a paper ballot with names and circles on it. Fill in the circles with the pen in the voting booth. Take it to the machine where the person watches as you feed it in. If everything is fine it keeps it. If there's a problem it spits it back out it's marked spoiled and you can get a new one.<br /><br />If there's a question about how the machine counted votes the marked paper ballots are stacked inside the machine for recount by hand. If the ballot was mismarked, the voter got a chance to fix his/her own mistake. <br /><br />Only problem I can see is that it might be possible for the poll worker to see who you voted for in one or two races as you feed it in - but depending on how you hold it you can make sure it's just cemetery board or something similar.<br /><br />Well, that and the state doesn't require id to vote. But that's another issue. As far as vote counting machine this is my favorite after being registered to vote in 5 states (none of which check id).<br /><br />MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-42316110455446249742010-11-01T09:41:32.283-05:002010-11-01T09:41:32.283-05:00Romish, HA!
