It's real simple. Computers are the way to go, but get rid of touch screen and use a mouse or something.

This sounds to me like a lot people who can't touch the right spot.

I’m a tech support analyst, and a large percentage of the population shouldn’t be allowed to go near a computer. No matter how simple something it, you’ll always find a “simpler” person...just sayin.

Touch screens are a lot less public friendly than you'd think. People get impatient or confused. They're a horrible way to handle voting.

Add in the hackability and closed source software and you'll see the voting process is too important for too broad an audience to be using these horrible Deibold or Sequoia and similar machines.

Here's a video show how, even after re-calibration, the machine still picked the wrong candidates. YouTube

Optical scan is the best of both worlds with fast accurate counting and easy verifiability by hand.
