The Touchscreen machine I voted on today printed a paper 'receipt' of my votes |
|
Didn't receive a copy but you are able to see it after it prints to confirm the accuracy. The printed record stays on a tape like cash register receipt.
Anyone else vote on a machine like this?

Today it was just fill in the little oval with a pen and send through a scanner. I didn't expect that.

I went to the meetings. Professors of Comp-Sci complained. We were humored, then ignored. :(

3. That's pretty much how the machines in Philly work. |

http://phillyelection.com/engweb.htmETA: There is a tape and the workers usually post a copy of it outside the polling station so people can see the breakdown.

6. Last year at my Ohio precinct we had a choice |

you could use those machines, or choose a paper ballot and sit at one of three designated tables and fill in the dots yourself. Since I live in a community a stone's throw away from Diebold, I sat at the table. A handful of others were doing the same. Some just because of a much shorter line, but I felt a helluva lot better sealing my own page and placing it in the voters' box.
This year I voted early, and chose paper as well.

7. Unless the law states that a "voter-verified paper ballot is the ballot of record" |
|
what you saw wasn't worth a fortune-cookie message. At least they give you a cookie along with the bullshit piece of paper.

Still don't wholly trust them, however.
