2. I live in Elkhart Indiana and we recently got new voting machines. They're fantastic.

Your ballot prints off with a barcode that's unique to you. You insert that into a machine and select your choices using the touchscreen. When you're done, you press "finish" and it spits the ballot back out with all of your choices marked on it, so you can review it and make sure everything is correct.

Then you insert the ballot into the counting machine, it gives you a message that it's been successfully counted and it drops into a lockbox that can be used in case a hand recount is needed.

Best of all, none of the machines have an internet connection, so there's no way to get into any of them.
