I prefer paper ballots. The kind you have to mark with a pen or pencil and that have to be counted in front of election judges from both parties. I would like it even better if we had to sign our ballots and put our names and addresses on them. It would provide an audit trail and make cheating much harder.

What's so sacred about a "secret ballot", is it in the constitution?

Yes, I know there are Libertarians, Greens, Socialists, QueerVote and so on. They don't count. If they ever pull 5% then they will matter.

I'm with you buddy... I like the personal touch in voting, and I don't care if it takes multiple hours to tally the votes. The audit trail is critical.
