1. Pens would probably be better with the paper.
They can erase pencil marks.

3. Actually,that is the best way to do it.
Takes more time but I think our democracy is worth spending the time and getting it right. Someone...think it might have even been Beverly Harris who suggested we do it that way....not sure it was her so sorry in advance if I got that wrong but it was some national figure in the news.

4. Best of Both Worlds...
Optical Scan for quick results, then do a hand recount just to be sure.
