It didn't sound like it shredded to me when I cast my vote, but someone else came into the office this afternoon and said thats what the machine did. That is why I am asking. It would make NO sense to shred ballots.
Yeah, why the hell shred ballots? Recount 'expected'?

Souncs like crap to me. We use those readers here in Minnesota, and all the paper ballots are saved. We have regular recounts here, and they manually recount the ballots, which drop into a hopper in the machine after they are read.
I think it might also be against the law, for what that's worth anymore.
When my vote page fed in, all I heard was silence and there was a very obvious locked door on one side, just about ballot-sized, implying a storage bin for the accumulated ballots.
I'd say, fear not, my friend.
