I wish I'd seen this BEFORE today. I've voted in in many states and only stood in line for any length of time once, in Florida. Here in my small town, Illinois, we still fill in the oval with an ink pen. Heaven forbid! We actually don't have to worry about if the puncher hit the spot correctly, or if someone missed the spot on the computer screen. We go in, fill in the dots, deposit them, and walk out. No mistakes. It is almost impossible to confuse the ballot. It is probably the cheapest, and maybe the most full-proof method of voting.
