Comment Why not manual counting? (Score 1) 463
What's wrong with plain old manual counting where have clear rules about which votes are valid before you go to election. If there is one vote card type for each candidate and you vote by putting the card for the candidate you want to vote for in an envelope and the envelope in a box, then there can be no misconceptions.
Envelopes with more than one card in it is invalid. Envelopes without a card in it, is invalid. Envelopes with something else than one card in it, is invalid. Envelopes with a folded card in it, is invalid. Of course the rules for valid votes must be set _before_ voting too avoid discussions like the one with the punched cards.
