I'm with you. I like the ballots I used last year. Plain old paper optical scanned ballots. Easy to mark, easy to read the results, easy to re-scan if necessary.

I don't like the fact that there is absolutely no proof after the fact, no paper trail.

Electronic voting would be fine if there was a private means of determining that your vote was actually tabulated correctly. e.g., you get a ballot number assigned to you which you can review on a website.

Whether electronic voting works perfectly or not is mute. Every Democratic loss (lots of those on the way,btw) will be cause for charges of vote fraud. One screwed up computer program anywhere will tarnish the accuracy of all electronic votes. We can't afford that.

Back to paper.

I agree. They work great where I vote.
