>>>Real Americans want real ballots.
We have paper ballots where you fill in the oval next to the candidate's name - they are machine counted - in the event of machine problems, one can always hand-count ballots. Best of both worlds.
My first choice also. I think they're called called "optical scanners"
I totally agree with you, Keith. While opscan equipment can be manipulated, the paper ballots themselves can be counted via separate independent means. A law requires that in Pennsylvania but the corrupt Democrats of the Rendell mob are violating that law, intentionally.
Yes, and in a tight race or even a supposedly not tight race, a question of recount is made and all of a sudden, the vote counters are saying you can intreprut the intent of the voter (i.e., 2000, and the 2004 vote in Washington state.
So how is a paper ballot any better? And for punch card ballots, you keep fanning the cards enough, and extra openings will appear and hte ballot for your canidates is thrown out, and the other canidate now wins.
