[Wampus SC]

"I was one of the people that tried out the new voting machines on Saturday. I am not convinced that they are the solution to many of the problems with elections that have been well documented in the last few years. I am concerned that a voter verifiable paper ballot is not produced during the voting process."

I meant to go to that, but wasn't able to.

Did you see if there's a way to cast a write-in vote?

Yes Wampus, you can. If an office offers a write in candidate, you can press that selection. The screen clears and you are presented with a typewriter style keyboard on the screen so you can type the name of your candidate. Then you push a "Finished" button or some such and the screen displays what you typed in and offers you the ability to make changes.

It's really pretty user friendly. Just takes a little getting used to.

Sure wish it printed a paper receipt. I understand this feature will be added later.
