There's some sort of automated reader and I have no idea if it's doing its job properly.


Which makes me think.

Our county, too, simply has a scantron-style form (fill in the bubble next to the name). But it occurs to me that the scantron form is read into... you guessed it, a computer. And that computer's results get tallied into... what? Another computer. Right?

Essentially, the entire voting system has been working on computers for a very long time, right?

So what's the big complaint about the Diebold machines? It's just eliminating one layer of potential error. Everyone who thinks that "all computer voting machines are bad because computers have glitches" is forgetting that even the paper votes get tallied into computers. They just don't see that part of it.
