Reply #8: Too many chances of data entry errors.

Who do you think runs the polling place? Some of those people don't type.

There are usually more than one contest on the ballot in a presidential year. In 2004 we had a senate race, congressional races, three bond issues and two changes to the state constitution.

We also have nearly 5,000 registered voters in our precinct. That's a lot of keystrokes for a half blind retired person to enter correctly.

Your county probably needs people to work the polls. Find out what you can do to help. The object of the poll worker should be to run a fair and honest election so that there is no doubt as to who is the real winner. IE. to win honestly.
