41. I'm fine with this. The paper ballots are there to be counted and to verify.

The scanner allows for speed and immediate results. The paper ballots allow for accurate, verifiable results.

Since the scanner checks for voter errors on ballots, too, the paper ballots should be well-organized, practically error free, and easily read and counted.

The guy was messing with it MattP Jun 2016 #17

He wasn't messing with it. Touchscreens go out of alignment, especially during heavy use. w4rma Jun 2016 #20

Sounds like the system used at my precinct but what do you mean DawgHouse Jun 2016 #25

We have a scanner that will reject ballots and allow the voter to fill in a brand new one. w4rma Jun 2016 #30

Oh, gotcha! DawgHouse Jun 2016 #32

I really like that system and can't think of a better solution. (nt) w4rma Jun 2016 #36

I agree. I like that there is a paper trail. DawgHouse Jun 2016 #37

Yeah, and each ballot inserted into the locked ballot box has to pass through a verification system. w4rma Jun 2016 #40

Buy still that scanner counts the votes. zeemike Jun 2016 #39

I'm fine with this. The paper ballots are there to be counted and to verify. w4rma Jun 2016 #41

There is no verification unless you count them by hand. zeemike Jun 2016 #69

I'm fine with this, too. That's a legal issue, not a technical issue. The ballots would be there for w4rma Jun 2016 #129
