I was so delighted to see printed paper verification on the touchscreen voting machines. I took a couple of pictures of it before I was told "you can't take pictures in here!" (There was no one else voting except me and Benson.)
I can see it slowing things down, and it may lead to a little bit more confusion. In this case, for example, there were "two pages" of results I had to review. It printed the first page, then I had to hit a button on the screen to continue. Then it printed the second page, and I had to hit another button to verify. It then prints a 2D barcode on the receipt, and it scrolls up and away.
I have to say, it was so much more satisfying hitting the button knowing that there was a paper record. In the past when I voted touchscreen, I hit the button and it just made a little trilly sound. I had little confidence my vote was actually being recorded.
And even today, when Benson was done voting his card got stuck in the machine. (They had you a card that you stick in the machine to start, and then you remove the card at the end and return it.) If there was no paper receipt, I'd wonder if the malfunction meant that his vote was not counted.
Update: Why does it seem like I never vote for the winning candidate? I really think I should start voting for the person I want to lose...

Watch video here At a polling place on election day in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, voting machine technician Tony Pirrone explains how static electricity can short the voting machine and shut it down when the machine inspector touches the officer control button on the back to enable the voter to vote. After seeing one machine shut down and have to be reset several times, voters at the poll waited in line for the one good machine, not trusting that the finicky one would register their votes. Pirrone assured all who would listen that even though the machine needed to be reset repeatedly, all votes had been accurately recorded and stored on the machine cartridge which would be transported by a police officer to a central location for the official tally.
Working on Moey's 2008 Halloween costume. This is the sticker "voters"/neighbors will earn when they candy vote for either Obama or McCain when using Moey's Candy Voting Machine (costume). Nate designed a results web site: candyvote.com This sticker mimics the "I'm a Georgia Voter" that we receive when we vote here in GA.

"examiner.com ONLINE TODAY: asdfasdf asdfasdf"
That's what appeared in yesterday's San Francisco Examiner, in relation to a newswire story about hackers handily defeating the electronic voting machines that California is foolishly thinking of deploying.
"is this where I put it? he asks. My 8 year old has only known one president. Simon was a baby in my arms when W. Bush was sworn in. He mirrors the country this election day 2008. He is full of excitement and hope and he helped me blacken the little circle next to Obama's name.
Note the fellow standing and writing in the back ground. He would rather stand and fill out a ballot than use the "no paper trail" diebold machine.
Atlanta Journal and Constitution (AJC) published a story on Moey's costume. It should be in print on Thursday (10/23). www.ajc.com/holiday/content/atlanta-holiday-guide/stories...

Just found out that taking photos inside the booth is a possible no-no, even if you're not actually recording your vote. Anyway, recipe here.

Alvaro Robles, 51, receives instructions from Robert Peil, 88, on how to cast a vote, Nov. 2, Liverpool, N.Y. Robles feels voting has the power to cause change and said, “If you want to complain, you better vote.” Peil has been a poll worker for the past 10 years and believes in the voting process. “I’m hoping that the American people will have faith in their government, and that the government responds to the people’s interest for freedom,” Peil said.
Don't vote on electronic voting machines that are NOT owned and controlled by WE the people.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting
"Electronic voting technology can speed the counting of ballots and can provide improved accessibility for disabled voters. However, there has been controversy, especially in the United States, that electronic voting, especially DRE voting, can facilitate electoral fraud."
Who needs speed.?. I'll settle for accurate.

When I was growing up on the West Coast, I remember hearing voting terms such as "Pull the lever" and "Vote at straight ticket"... After using the wonderfully antiquated mechanical lever voting machines for only the second time today, I have a much better understanding of where those terms came from.
As you can see, I was not undecided...
