The states in light green in this map have electronic voting machines with an paper audit-trail. I have heard that some people in West Virginia tried to vote for Obama but it flipped to McCain. Apparently it was sorted out because they had the audit trail showing the vote flipped. It shows the importance of checking your audit trail. Are most voters in those states checking their paper-trail?
http://www.verifiedvoting.org/cgi-bin/ma鈥?/a>|||I live in one of those light green states (Wisconsin) and in my district we do not use those electronic machines. We have what I believe is the best of both worlds: Optical scanner.
We vote on paper, and insert it into a machine to be read. No chads. No electronic voting machines. No levers to pull (voted on those when I lived in Philly, and didn't like those much.) All districts should have a system that is easily tallied but can be recounted by hand later.|||They should just ban those e- voting machines, they're too risky and haven't meet security requirements. |||I voted on paper ballot and optical scanner.
(Florida)|||Actually you heard incorrectly there is no paper trail in WV. It was individuals that caught the votes trying to flip before they were finished voting and had to get assistance from poll workers. I'm wondering just how many won't catch the flip. Apparently even if you completely touch the Obama box it doesn't necesarily check but if you even slightly move your finger in an upward motion on those machines it lights up for McCain. I think that is a poorly constructed touch screen system that they are using. I watched them demonstrate the machines on either CNN or MSNBC but can't remember which channel.
