We haven't gone yet here in our little mountain town of Colorado, but it's a piece of cake with only about 300 voters.

paper ballots and no problems with machines for us:-)

We still have a fraud proof system in Wyoming, paper ballots that you mark with a special pencil and then insert in a counting machine and the ballot stays in the machine. After polls close the whole machine (about 30" x 40" x 36" high) is taken to the court house where the machines are opened and count is read. A recount is possible because the ballots are still in the counting machine. This is the best system. There were scores of counting machines and one optional touch screen voting machine. With so many voting booths and counting machines there is never a long wait here.

To register to vote, a birth certificate or passport is required. To vote you must show a card that is mailed to all registered voters. To remain registered you must vote in every general election.
