Anybody else vote on a touch-screen today? |
|
I did. I found it to be easy to use, much easier than a butterfly ballot. There was a screen at the end before the vote was registered where it put up who you were voting for, so that if you made a mistake, you could go back and change it. If these machines created a paper trail (maybe like an ATM receipt kind of thing) I'd be all for them.

Plain old paper & pencil. Worked fine, no glitches, paper trail created for recount if necessary, no hanging chads, no Repuke-owned software to change the result. I don't understand why there is this push to go electronic, with ALL the chances for fraud, hacking, more stolen elections, etc., when paper & pencil don't lie.

3. Because there is money to be made... |
|
as well as votes to be gathered without having to bother with voters. It's a Republican wet dream.

6. Yes, for city council. But no repukes ran. |
|
They wouldn't win here, if they did. :-)
But the candidates' names were in alphabetical order. There is no way the machine's manufacturer could know which names were going to be where. Unless the dems on the election commission went along with some programmed vote theft, the repukes (next time) could not pull a scam.
