      Here in Ohio you do a touch screen that prints out a paper ballot which has both English and barcode for each choice then you go to a different machine to cast your ballot by scanning it in. This gave me the opportunity to double check everything, once when reviewing I made the correct decisions before printing, then again to confirm my ballot said what I voted for.

      I wasn’t aware that wasn’t the norm

        That’s cool and all. But we got effectively the same thing for the price of a pen.

          It can also be used for people with disabilities. And while it is more expensive it can be much quicker and lead to shorter line times.
