CA vote - the Diebolds have disappeared in my precinct

Advertisements [?]

Went to vote today, and the Diebolds that I voted on in the last election have disappeared. They were replaced with optical scanner cards that went into a big locked box. I got a stub that simply acknowledged that my vote was taken.
The poll workers were talking across the room about how there were 'accuracy problems' and 'no paper trail', and that's why it had been changed to this. I threw in some comment about 'hearing that the Diebold systems are unreliable'
Is this change to optical scanners an improvement?

BTW, my district had one of the highest tallies against Herr Boobegrabber, at 73%, in the last election. I love my city...
