ty from B2: That makes sense, and could help.

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Oct 27 '08, 10:01

The version of the paper trail I always heard was for the individual voter to have a record. That's useless, imo.

Having a system where the touchscreen printed out a completed ballot that would be handled just like the old paper ballots would be a big step in the right direction.

It still has flaws, but much, much better.

I have voted in every election since 19 in 72, but I would refuse if there is no paper ballot retained by the polling place. - zeitgeist Oct 27, 10:13
Yeah, I agree - ty97 Oct 27, 10:02 4
- I guess you could have both. The souvenir, and the paper ballot for records. - Inigo Oct 27, 10:03 3
  - The souvenir seems wasteful to me. I think folks should see the prinout, verfiies it's accuracy, then it's submitted to the 'ballot box'. - ty97 Oct 27, 10:05 2
    - We have scan-tron-like things ("connect the arrow") but don't get a "confirmation" of who we voted for. - JaxSean Oct 27, 10:10 1
      - They could verify the scantron later by hand though, correct? - ty97 Oct 27, 10:19
