Unfortunately most americans are doing this,

when it comes to the sanctity of clean elections. I have never missed a vote since I turned 21 and I am always concerned about clean and honest elections.

but they also print a record of my ballot which I get to review before the vote is recorded.

I agree, it may take a complete boycott of elections until audits are put in place to ensure fair and honest elections.
