Doesn't take much to impress a southerner...In Texas I was very impressed for the first time with our voting software. When you go in you get a paper ballot that is like a huge Scantron. you put it in the machine and use the machine to select your choices. You see your choices at the end and then you hit confirm. Your large Scantron is then marked by the machine and you can see that everything you chose is there in black a perfect black square mark. No questions about hanging Chad's or X's or checks or anything.
You then walk that over to a scanner which is your actual ballot box. Your Scantron is scanned which counts your votes and did the larger computer and drops your paper ballot into a secure lockbox for counting later if there is a question about discrepancies.
