A Comment Worthy Of A Post 4-16-14

Carl F. has left a new comment on your post "EDITORIAL: Democrats deny voter fraud. Ask North C...":

As many of us Marylander's have noticed the last time you voted, you walked into your polling place. Stood in line patiently like everyone else. Arrived at the touch screen ballot, slid in your card given to you then when your all finished you give this card back to the kind people overseeing the event. Did you receive any form of tangible proof of your vote? The answer is a resounding NO! We are to believe that what we entered into the computer is what becomes counted as our vote. But as many of us also know with technology there is an inherent amount of abuse and misuse. Hackers can freely access your information with use of virus's. So now ask your self again did you really vote the last time you went to your polling place? My response is again NO! I received no tangible evidence of what was cast in my ballot via the computer, nor did anyone else. If we continue to use an electronic ballot system we should have some form of redundancy to recheck our information in a tangible form as well as an electronic one. Hopefully other Marylander's feel the same way as I do.

  3. Well, I did get that "I Voted" sticker. But the way the election turned out, I don't think that it counted.

  4. You should not have to ask for a receipt of your ballot. In my honest opinion it should be considered a best practice to supply them with every ballot entry and further more have a scan-able QR or bar code so that a third party could potentially check the validity of the count. This could even bring exit polling to a new level. Granted that most people would certainly want their personal information to remain anonymous from this type of tally and rightfully so.
