The Touchscreen machine I voted on today printed a paper 'receipt' of my votes

Didn't receive a copy but you are able to see it after it prints to confirm the accuracy. The printed record stays on a tape like cash register receipt.

Anyone else vote on a machine like this?

1. I have before

Today it was just fill in the little oval with a pen and send through a scanner. I didn't expect that.

2. Nope. Pittsburgh, PA is completely Faith-Based....

I went to the meetings. Professors of Comp-Sci complained. We were humored, then ignored. :(

3. That's pretty much how the machines in Philly work.

ETA: There is a tape and the workers usually post a copy of it outside the polling station so people can see the breakdown.

4. That's how the Denver machines are.

And I think we have a statewide contract.

5. That's the kind of machine

used in my NC county. They were used in the '08 election as well.

6. Last year at my Ohio precinct we had a choice

you could use those machines, or choose a paper ballot and sit at one of three designated tables and fill in the dots yourself. Since I live in a community a stone's throw away from Diebold, I sat at the table. A handful of others were doing the same. Some just because of a much shorter line, but I felt a helluva lot better sealing my own page and placing it in the voters' box.

This year I voted early, and chose paper as well.

7. Unless the law states that a "voter-verified paper ballot is the ballot of record"

what you saw wasn't worth a fortune-cookie message. At least they give you a cookie along with the bullshit piece of paper.

8. Places where I used to vote in Ohio were like this.

Still don't wholly trust them, however.
