We had the diebold machine for the first time here in our precinct in s. Ohio.
It was OK.
There was a separate paper ballot printed, but it did not spit out of the machine, but was internal to the machine. One can lift a door to look at it before it gets scrolled to a central roll of paper, but there's no prompt on the screen to open that door to check the accuracy of the paper ballot.
I missed it when I hit an advance button.
I'm hoping that the scrolled roll of paper is what gets counted and not some communication between the machine I voted on and some central counting location, but I really don't know.
I'd like those objections cleared up before I'm ready to give it a clean bill of health.
LOL! We had the Diebold's with the "add on" paper ballot printer on the side. I was the second voter at the machine and it jammed immidiately. Since the poll workers had no access to the printer (since it wouldn't be secure) there was no way for them to fix it and the machine was out of order until whomever came to fix it.
electronic voting machines = complete and utter joke.
