[quote=Chypmunk][quote=ynwtf]wow. there's an advert for Batman about 10 minutes in lol.[/quote]

How terribly silly! Did they not know that Batman is a fictional comic-book character and as such was highly unlikely to ever see it.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]I'd argue voting is in a class by itself, importance-wise, but you might be an exception anyway, because we've had voting machines here for a decade or two, and I live in a pretty poor area.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=Yoda]Anyway there are lots of good reasons to stay with paper, it's a lot safer and it's not that hard. Obviously the design of the ballots themselves can be better or worse, though.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]I moved to a neighboring area. The voting machines in the area I left were the paper ballots inserted into a computer. You do the selections on a screen and it marks them for you. Remove the ballot. It shouldn’t take 10 minutes to vote when you can only have 8 people voting at one time.

I get into the argument with my dad a lot, I just feel like we could do better. So many important things; banking, insurance, taxes, etc., are done electronically. [/font][/quote]

[quote=Austruck]I've been voting for 40 years. Have lived at both ends of Pennsylvania, and have never had to wait more than about five minutes to get into a voting booth. Have voted with mechanical machines, laptop-like machines, and now some odd hybrid of laptop and then putting a ballot in a box that is electronic. 

My parents lived in Las Vegas for ten years. That large city (it was really burgeoning in the years they lived there) used old-fashioned paper ballots. My parents appreciated the physical paper trail.

Of course, there are also stories of unscrupulous folks toting the ballots from the polling place to where they're counted, so I'm pretty sure fraud is possible with any voting method. Some are just easier to manipulate than others.[/quote]
