Related: About this forumThe voting machines in Virginia last fall let a voter slide the ballot in, see what was scanned
& press vote
The current machines scan the paper ballot and say done. Not letting the voter see their vote.
If I were not so concerned about our govenor working for Hillary I might not be concerned, however I feel there should be a recount based on the paper ballots after the primary

Diebold became the most infamous name in the industry in 2003, when its CEO, Walden ODell, a top fund-raiser for George W. Bush, made a jaw-dropping public promise to deliver Ohios electoral votes to Bush. The following year, California banned Diebolds touchscreen system, and Secretary of State Kevin Shelley blasted the company as fraudulent, despicable, and deceitful. ODell stepped down in 2005, right before the filing of a class-action suit that accused Diebold of fraud, insider trading, and slipshod quality control.
Concerned about its tarnished brand, the company removed its label from the front of voting machines. Then Diebold went one step further and changed the name of its voting-machine division to Premier Election Solutions.
