What does your area use to count votes?
 
I just voted, and apparently my area decided to go old-school for this election.

Fill-in bubble sheets.

I couldn't decide if I was voting for President or taking the SAT.

Then, you had to hand your 8.5" x 14" (legal size) paper ballot, unfolded, to the registrar, and everyone in the room could see which oval you had filled in.

Seemed pretty Mickey-Mouse.

Same method here save it is fill in the arrow with a big black marker instead of bubbles. I was voter # 34.

our precinct also uses fill in the bubble sheets, but when you are done they give you a little plastic sleeve to put it in whcih you then place over the ballot box and allow your ballot to fall into the box so no one can see your vote.

My wife says ours is all computerized. I know later today.

Scantron/bubble sheets and a nifty plastic sleeve that covered your vote until it was taken and read by the machine.

Ours had two arrow points facing each other that you had to fill in with a single line between the two. We got a paper sleeve that covered maybe half of the ballot before it slid into the rubbermaid container designated official ballot box.

I miss the electronic ballots. Those were pretty awesome the one time that we used them.

We've used the bubbles until this election. This time, we had electronic touchscreens.

In Dallas County it's computerized touch screens for early voting, but fill in the bubble sheet on election day.

Computerized touch screen here for us.

No line in my precinct at 10:00.

Archaea 11-04-2008 05:23 PM

computerized touch screen, with plastic credit card, backed up by paper print off.
