We still have a fraud proof system in Wyoming, paper ballots that you mark with a special pencil and then insert in a counting machine and the ballot stays in the machine. After polls close the whole machine (about 30" x 40" x 36" high) is taken to the court house where the machines are opened and count is read. A recount is possible because the ballots are still in the counting machine. This is the best system. There were scores of counting machines and one optional touch screen voting machine. With so many voting booths and counting machines there is never a long wait here.

To register to vote, a birth certificate or passport is required. To vote you must show a card that is mailed to all registered voters. To remain registered you must vote in every general election.

Sounds like what I used. A new system used during the primaries. We had had the touch screens. I heard a poll worker say it was a new statewide system. ?

That's what we have in our county in Michigan, virtually fool-proof. We didn't have to show proof, but they know us by name.

Voted around noon, there were hardly any people in line, but I vote in our "city." The township offices across the street looked busy, which is a good thing because they are mostly Republican. Had to split my ballot from straight Republican to vote for one Libertarian running AGAINST John Dingell.

We have the exact same system as you do!

We reached our little school to vote around 10:30 AM and were already 205-206 in line. That surprised me. Voter turnout is heavy here.
