Here in Canada it's paper and pencil, too.
The interesting thing is that in our last federal election, they counted all the paper and pencil ballots the same night, and then recounted several jurisdictions that same night.
I truly cannot figure out why the recount of a few jurisdictions in Florida required so much ridiculous work. A recount here, of paper ballots, can happen in a few hours. A recount in Florida takes weeks?! Either it was intentionally made impossible, or the system is just *#@!ed.
