Sounds like a different machine than is used here in the Chattanooga area. We don't vote on a machine, but simply feed the completed ballot into it. We get to fill out a paper ballot by coloring in the block next to the candidate/issue we choose after which we hand the card to the official, he tears off the numbered stub and files it separately, and then has the voter feed the voting ballot into the slot on top of the machine. Looks like a giant shredder, but it's merely an optical scanner of some sort.
Democrap party false ballots are treasonous and perpetrators should be treated as traitors since they are cancelling the voting citizen's most sacred act in this Constitutional Republic. Anyone found to be cheating the system (and anyone instructing or aiding them) should be incarcerated for the rest of their natural life and ALL citizenship rights removed. Democrat leaders, even at grassroots level, are wink and nod liars and cheats, despicable in the main.
