Christopher Michael brought up an interesting point earlier in the thread about a voter signing his computer printout. On that subject, why can't we just go back to an optical scan system where you fill in the bubbles and scan it through a machine. Then you are 100% sure you voted correctly and 100% sure your vote counted.
The recent voting acts weigh against the opitical scan. We have that system now in the county and it works well. However, ADA accessibility and early voting requirements create the need for hundreds of ballot types to cover all possibilities in the county. Printing costs would be enormous. An electronic voting machine with a paper printout becomes the only affordable option.
