    Quadruple check the candidate you chose is printed on the slip before feeding it into the counting machine.

    Europoor here: I thought you guys had actually digitalized the process. This just sounds like ticking a box on a piece of paper with a pen with extra steps.

      Note that every state can differ.

      In my case, it is a pen and paper, scanned by machine.

      I don’t know if any state has gone full digital. That would preclude a manual recount, which I know is commonly a right of a candidate to request in a close result.

      the conservative states, use voter mahcines much more pervasively than the non-conservative areas. paper ballots have always been more secure.
