As an Ohioan, this affects me. I'm in favor of paper ballots, scanned or read by punch-card machines. However, I see no reason for moving the polling places even farther from my home than they are now. There's nothing wrong with casting my ballot in my precinct. Centralizing the voting process only makes it more difficult.

read by punch-card machines.

Prior to the 2006 election, my county used punch cards. They were easy to use, obvious to see if you failed to punch completely (which I had never even thought about before 2000 Florida) and provided their own paper trail. The entire voting machine including the suitcase/stand was very inexpensive. Of course, criminal voter fraud election workers could have punched extra cards, but short of that, were efficient and cheap.

The whole state had to change to the touch screen in 2006. Cheaters will always find a way to cheat.

So is Mayor Daley of Chicago. And most Democrat machines in the country.

The punch card ballot is the preferred system for vote fraud. Not just because of the "chads" made famous in Florida, but because there are so many low-tech ways to add votes for your candidate and spoil votes for the opposing candidate.
