Comment Here in Chicago... (Score 2, Interesting) 164

I voted yesterday. This is the first time I've voted early. I, too, had concerns about the veracity of the process. I spoke to one of the poll workers, and he explained there is a paper trail. I saw that in action. After running through the touch-screen process, my ballot was printed on a paper roll, and I had time to examine every choice made. I also had the option of changing my vote prior to finalizing it, even though the printing process had begun. The machine printed a barcode at the bottom of my printed ballot, and the roll scrolled to blank paper for the next voter in line. The paper was under plexiglass, so I was not able to actually touch the paper. Overall, I felt the process was secure enough. BUT, my opinion would be the oppsite without the paper trail.
