Whatever happened to simple paper ballots and marking the candidate you want with an "X"?

Sometimes technology makes things worse, not better.

I have seen massive fraud in elections using paper ballots too. How about cards pre-punched for Gore in 2000 before they were handed to voters? (Saw that personally). How about a plastic template pushed into a punch card machine that prevented the chad from being punched unless it was for a democrat (note that the cards then had HANGING CHADS AND PREGNANT CHADS!) That one happened here in Houston in 2000. How about a democrat voting official in Florida with a fingernail sharpened into a punch who had punched out HUNDREDS OF BALLOTS FOR GORE IN 2000 BEFORE THE REPUBLICANS COULD GET A JUDGE TO STOP HER?!!!!

Like they used in Tip O'Neill's first election way back when? When the counters (who wanted Tip) kept pieces of graphite under their fingernails to "correct" what ballots they could?
