Optical scan has probably the least number of misvotes and is pretty easy to use. Not to mention its in paper. Of course these California people when they decided to ban punchcards, they didn't really think things through about what exactly they would replace them with. New flashy technology doesn't always mean better.

Oh somebody thought it through all righty, It's worse than you realize. See the link in Post 16.

Actually, the Software is where the Problems are likely to be.

Take New Mexico in 2000. In Albuquerque, the Presidential line was NOT counted for Bush-Cheney if the Ballot was cast Straight Republican. If the ticket was split, it did.

Thus, so-called Broken Glass Republicans were disenfranchised as to the Presidency.

NO such "glitch" occurred for Yellow Dog Democrats!

Yet no one went to Jail for rigging the Software!!

Luckily, the problem was caught and corrected [paper trail].

Electronic voting is a SCAM!!!
