What on earth is wrong with the old two bar ballot. Two black bars that you connect with a felt tip. No Chads, No confusing ballots. Simply checking box. This electronic crap is spooky. Especially if the "eether bunny" likes Kerry.

Exactly! I agree! Everyone, I believe even "seasoned citizens" would be satisfied with a card-ballot that can be marked with an indelible marker...like dotting a bingo card. The name of the candidate (even his/her picture perhaps) and their party (R) or (D) or (I) with a circle next to the name to mark your dot. Then, that card-ballot can be run through the optical reader to be tabulated. I even think that the card-ballots could have a stub with corresponding numbers that could be torn off to give to the voter (like at the dry cleaners) that the voter then could later look at in a computer printout to verify that their vote was counted. Note: that number being only known to the voter and not to any polling place worker.
