Why in heck don't we just use the ATM's?

Simple, quick, easy, leaves two paper records - one in the machine, one to the customer.

The things are everywhere, too - no need for absentee ballots.

And the banks execute billions of transactions a day, with very, very, few errors.

And they would be happy to do it - for a buck a vote. Much cheeper than our current efforts.

Such machines can easily support two databases, report one, print the other.

An ATM is just your checking account. A ballot is your freedom. The stakes are just a little different, no?

Paper ballots.

I'll tell you why:

Cameras.

Vote fraud by illegal aliens and other ineligble (i.e. felons) voters is the backbone of Democrat get out the vote efforts.

And system that could actually catch illegal voters would be opposed to the death by Democrats.

So know this: Democrats are literally stealing the country from YOU. Democrat governments lack legitimacy. They are musch more evil than your worst fears.

lol, neat idea. However, my issue with giving a paper receipt is that some people can be thugged (or, Unioned - same difference) into voting a certain (democrat) way and have to show the evidence to keep from being beat up or loosing their jobs.

Printed receipts enable vote-buying schemes: Bring you John F'n Kerry receipt down to the AFL-CIO hall for a promotion or vacation day or cash bribe. Don't think it wouldn't be happen.

Optical scan paper ballots.
