Brilliant! Not to get all prosaic on you, but when I went to a training for Lawyers for Kerry in the fall of 2004, we were told that opti-scan machines were the best for counting for votes. Those are the ones where you fill in little circles with a pencil, like standardized tests in school. The technology makes it easier to count quickly then voting machines or punch-cards, and they’re easier to do a manual recount on then punch-cards because you don’t have the ambiguous-chad problem.
