Comment : | 6. Given all the problems with electronic voting technology, perhaps the simplest and safest way is to follow Canada's example and vote with pencil and paper and have human volunteers (or public employees) count the paper ballots at every polling place at the end of the voting day in full public view (see "human larceny", below, in your note). The numbers are then communicated to the central counting places (County registrar in most states). 1. All ballots are re-countable. 2. It actually gets finished faster. 3. More jobs and less machinery involved. 4. Easier to prevent and detect fraud. Sincerely, Choymae Huie
