Paper, Touchscreen or Optical Scan?

[maveric]

What format did you use in your precinct?

San Diego county has Optical Scan.

[maveric]

1. What "other"?

No one used paper yet?

[randr]

2. Still have punch cards here in Montrose Co, Colorado

I feel very confident with them now that I know of the hanging chad issue.

[Richardo]

3. Other: 'E-slate' Electronic with the wheel-o-fortune....

NOT touch-screen. You'll be there all day making an idiot of yourself :D

[Liberal Classic]

16. Don't get me started on these things

Every screen is covered in finger smudges, and don't trip on the cable or you'll unplug the whole row!

[tridim]

4. Analog touchscreen here

With LED's showing choices. No paper trail.

30. Same thing here in Ocean County, New Jersey (nt)

[ninainsf]

5. What's the optical scan?

I connected the two ends of an arrow with a black marker, then fed the machine with my marked cards.

[Political_Junkie]

7. same here

[Robbie67]

13. that's Optical Scan

it scans for the marks through the arrows

[kranich]

6. Other

a "wheel" that you spin around and when the cursor lands on the guy you want, press enter.

I am not making this up either.

[maveric]

8. You've got to be kidding! Where do they do this?

[kranich]

10. This would be

in the town of Spring, Texas- Exit 70 IH-45 just north of Houston

[put out]

24. Oh, gol-dang.

My little bubba lives there. He's smart, he can figure it out. A closed-mouth dyed in the wool Dem. Love you, Brucie.

11. eSlate.

I loved the big sign that said "THIS IS NOT A TOUCHSCREEN"

I hated that worthless wheel.

[Kid_A]

35. WHEEL!!! OF!!! VOTING!!!!!!

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard...

[mikedemocrat]

9. other, NY uses mechanical machines with counters

very easy to use and can't be hacked like a computer

[phylny]

29. Same here, NY

I had to instruct my husband how to use it. It was comical and sweet :)

[baldguy]

12. Other

NY still has mechanical voting machines



Over the next couple years, the state is supposed to decide on a new system. So, we should be able to join the 21st century by about 2020.

[BeFree]

14. Push button next to name on 4 page screen

Next time, I want paper, scanned. That way there is a paper trail.

[calico1]

15. Levers. Big lever to open and close

curtain and reset everything, little levers to pick candidates.

[Athletic Grrl]

17. Diebold, unfortunately.

If my precinct shows up with anything less than 95% backing for our next president, Kerry, then I'll know the fix is in. :kick:

[maveric]

21. "Oaktown"? In Oakland CA?

I thought that CA did away with touchscreen?

[NightTrain]

18. In Coventry, CT, it's the old-fashioned voting booth with lever & curtain.

As such, I feel confident that my vote will actually be counted! :kick:

[feminazi]

19. optical scan, but that's cuz i voted absentee

*

[Dropkick]

20. Mechanical here in Pittsburgh

I love the feeling of slamming down that little lever. This time it was like hammering another nail in *'s coffin. So satisfying.

[Nimrod]

22. Good old fashioned paper

No butterfly ballots, no nothing. Just put your mark by your choice. Nice and simple.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. Optical Scan. n/t

[shance]

25. If you don't have a paper ballot, you dont have evidence of a vote

That simple - no way to recount, no way to fully declare a valid winner.

[geomon666]

26. Ivotronic touchscreen machines here in Perrine, FL

Still don't trust the f***ing things.

[robbedvoter]

27. Lever machine in NY

[Piperay]

28. Ink a Vote ... paper

in a burb of Los Angeles County. I like it because it leaves a paper trail.

[VOX]

31. Inking tool pressed onto paper card...

As long as it's counted correctly...

[Dyctator]

32. paper, black marker, scanner

cant mistake that


although, i dont think i should have written in KERRY for every position.
