Yeah, we have the Scan-Tron sytle ballots in my county in Florida. Our recount effort took about 2 hours and is said to be super accurate (error rate is .0002, or something like that).

And, if a manual recount is needed (this is Florida after all), there definitely are no hanging chads. If there is a mark on a bubble, it counts. If there is not a mark, it doesn't count. If there is a mark on each candidates bubble, the ballot is spoiled. That's it. End of story..

We used to have that system, and I loved it, but we have been upgraded to touch screen. Much easier to make multilingual ballots don't cha know.</sarcasm>
