It's called the "Australian secret ballot". Frankly, I don't want anybody to be able to discover how I voted. It's a problem and allows for fraud to occur. No real solutions have been proposed. But I wouldn't worry. It's like going on a long trip and wondering if you've left the oven on halfway there. It doesn't do you any good to worry and your concerns are probably unfounded.

Hope we can say that after the election.

I disagree.

Paper ballot with a big "X" through the box next to the name of your candidate of choice.

Then hand count the paper ballots, keep them in case there is a need to look at them or count them again.

So what if it takes an extra day to get it counted, it took 34 days of lawsuits the last time. I sure as H-E-!-! don't want computers doing it because I can't see or touch the ballot that was cast. I also don't trust the programmer that has an agenda.

There is an easy solution. When you have placed your vote electronicly, the machine should print a paper copy. The voter reviews the paper copy, then deposits it into a lock box. If there is a question about the vote, the state can then go back and count the paper ballots to verify the accuracy of the electronic ballots.

I have another approach. Trust but verify.
