I agree, there is no paper trail and no way to prove corruption if it is present, or mistakes if they happen. But, unless conservatives get together and make voting reform i.e. voter cards and machines which leave a paper trail, it ain't gonna happen. The dems want to keep their advantage!

Just think if there were a voter card, you could put it in the machine to get your ballot and since it had already been used there would be no other ballot issued to anyone in your name!

Yea, I like the paper/optical scan the best BUT we need some sort of Voter ID(could even be a drivers license) because nobody asked me for ANY information when I voted... I could have been ANYONE...

How about this... when you send your ballot into the optical vote counter, the machine takes your picture(like a ATM Machine does)! The pictures would NOT record who voted for whom it would just be a folder of ALL voters in each precinct(600 DIFFERENT PEOPLE's FACES = 600 Ballots) , then if someone votes in multiple precincts they can be caught.
