This is a good thing.
There is no way that the balloting machine and the counting machine should be contained in the same unit.
One should simply print out a crisp, clear ballot with clear selections (and non-selections).
This should be handed over to the precinct workers who run them through a scanner to get a tally.
This gives a paper trail, a means of correcting a ballot before it is printed, and it gives a means of hand-counting ballots if necessary.
It should be a crime to have an election based purely on electronic digits in one machine. No paper trail = phony election.
First the Rats said we needed electronic voting machines. Now they say we need something else. I agree with you. Electronic voting with a printed ballot that can be hand counted later for verification when necessary. Touch screen macines without a voter - visually verified - paper printed ballot have tremendous fraud potential IMO. The old punch cards were perfectly fine with me too.
