I just voted, and my local polling place had a sophisticated polling technology unlike any I had used before. It eliminated chads. It dispensed with buggy computer software. Instead, it used the unheard of, technologically-superior capabilities of… ink.
The ballot is just like the kind used with chads, but it has the amazing advance of using no chads.
The marking device that used to be a punch that would knock out a chad, is in this case something that deposits a perfect circle of black ink on the ballot.
This seems perfect. How is it there is no discussion of using this in place of computers for voting?
Pictures of the device, called an InkaVote, are here.
