Voting Method: How did you vote?

Post by Rich in KCK »

There were only 3 counties in my state that used E-voting, mine being one of them. I had read a few articles about the possible problems with this method, including lost votes and hacked cards.

I was given a card to go to a machine and vote but they didn't let me insert the card myself, I could have still switched the card between the check in and the machine though if I had a hacked card. (There was a group in CO that said they had stole a box of smartcards and made them so you could vote multiple times.) I asked if these particular machines left a paper trail, at first the gentleman didn't know what I meant. Then he finally understood and said that they did have a paper roll inside of them recording the data but they didn't print out a reciept.

So with no reciept I think I voted for who I wanted to.
