Reply #30: marksense optical scan [View All]

the entire county is Marksense optical scan equipment.

Here is the procedure from the voter's perspective which is all I know about first hand. You give your name and they look you up on the rolls. They issue a slip of paper with the "number" voter you are for the day at that location and you are handed a ballot. You mark your ballot in a "booth" it is the type where you connect the two parts of a broken arrow with a black ink marking pen and make it a complete arrow. Then you feel the ballot into the scan machine, get this, face up, with your vote choices in clear view of the machine monitor! They say they don't look but yeah right, anyhow there is opportunity for them to see how many votes which candidate is receiving if they chose to do so.

Then you leave. oh, one other minor point. you hand your slip with the voter number to the person overseeing the scanning machine.

Thanks for any information, I appreciate it.
