I want to vote from home on a secure website at my convenience.  Just eliminate election day, polling places and all this crap.  Let Google run it, they seem to know what they are doing.

I like the electronic booth....and checking my entries at the end, and going back to fix any that did show wrong.  I also like they print a paper record at the same time.

Paper Ballots. Funny how the companies who got the contracts to electronically count ballots are hefty donators to GOP candidates and party.....

I like the paper ballots.  I've had problems twice with the touch screen machines not recording my vote properly.

Given the controversy over voting in Ohio in past Presidential Elections, should Ohio go back to paper ballot voting. A movement is afoot to do just that as reported in todays Vindicator

If not, why not?
If so, why so?

Remember, Ohio got a national black eye after the past two elections with Congressional probes because of irregularities. Also remember that there has been a running controversy about electronic voting nationally. This begs the question: Is your convince more important that a fair and honest election?
