70. I voted paper ballot in Chicago yesterday, and I've never seen paperless electronic here

Wed Apr 8, 2015, 09:48 AM

Apr 2015

Last statewide election, I voted on an electronic machine with a visible and verifiable paper "receipt" locked into the machine. I don't think Cook County does paperless electronic, and Chicago city elections are ward by ward.

What ward did you vote in? You had a paperless electronic ballot in Chicago? Where? What ward?

Or are you just talking out of your ass?
