Machine read paper ballots (NOT punch cards). The best of both worlds. I don't understand this fascination with "touch-pad voting" that seems to have gripped state voting commissioners.

That is what is behind the push for voting machines. Machine read paper ballots (NOT punch cards) is the most practical and honest system. That is what we have here in Wyoming and it works well and people have confidence in it.

You make an excellent point about the fascination with touchscreens. Even banks don't use them on their newer ATMs because they're so problem-prone.
