All I want is a system which is not more easily screwed around with then paper ballots.

I think it's called OCR

Actually, I think its called 'Optical Mark Sense'.

Paper ballots, marked by the voter, not by software, then counted by software: - the ballot and the audit document are one and the same - no opportunity for software to mess with the printed record - option for a quick and dirty recount by feeding the ballots through a different counting machine (maybe with different software, from a different vendor) - further option for a manual recount of the original ballots (which are probably more legible than any machine-printed receipts) Oh, and by the way, these are the only kind of electronic voting machines approved, so far, in Mass.

Indeed, thats where I live, and the tech we use. It pretty much fits all the requirements. The only complaints I've heard are: * It doesn't randomize the order of candidate presentation. * No provision for dealing with the blind.
