Great idea. Only problem is the vast majority of these machines have NO paper ballot provision.

I've posted this link on a number of these electronic voting threads. It should be looked by everybody so you'll know what we're dealing with.

I'm poll manager here in South Carolina. And this fall, for the first time, we'll have these machines. We're supposed to have a training session sometime soon. I've emailed a link to this article to the county elections office.

Election day is not gonna be fun. Of course, we workers will be a little nervous since this will be the first time. But I really pity the poor voters. I'm not looking forward to explaining how to use the new machines a jillion times that day.

I woundn't worry, the machines are easy to use, easier than a standard punch card system, much easier than the Florida Butterfly punch ballot. :)

It's the potential for fraud, not the ease of use, that worries me.
