As a member of the "hacker news crowd", I think that paper ballots make a great solution to bad UI for an electronic voting machine. My county uses the paper ballot system described above.
Maybe having the skillset to design a reasonably usable voting machine also means having an understanding of why electronic voting is problematic, and wanting to have nothing to do with them...

You think electronic voting could be preferable paper ballots?
I checked and your county still offers touchscreen voting devices. Probably 1 per poll site, and at the early voting center, to comply with HAVA.
I clearly said the opposite, but since you seem to be confused: I prefer paper ballots.
I just wanted to be sure.
A claim that the problem with electronic voting is bad UI could imply that fixing the UI would fix electronic voting.
