If you've ever been stuck in line behind someone in line at the new SECU video tellers you'd probably agree that avoiding electronic touchscreen voting machines is a wise choice.
It is still a touch screen on a computer. It is not a true paper ballot. The state of Maryland wasted so much money on this system. The paper ballots and the ones that should be filled out and counted by hand.
so much for automating EVERYTHING
Good because computers are a lot easier to change than paper ballots.
