Paper Ballots Only
 

When we used paper ballots that were marked with a pen or pencil there was no denying what the voter intended to vote for.  Paper punch (chads like the Florida fiasco) and electronic ballots like used in Virginia's last election has created way to many questionable ballots which resulted in time comsuming legal challenges. Progress and new technology may be good in the majority of circumstances but I don' see where technology has improved the voting process.  Voters who take time to vote expect their ballet to be counted and counted correctly with any court challenges...PAPER BALLOTS ony PLEASE.
