Voted on my county's new paper ballot/scan system

4. Believe it or not Texas of all places has this system.

It does a number of things including ridding us of precinct location voting. The machine generates a custom ballot for each of 3000 + precincts so eventually you will be able to vote in early voting in Houston when you live and are registered in El Paso and election day voting may pass by the wayside entirely.

There's a lot going for it. It has the advantages of speed and accuracy in counting and cost savings of excess ballot printing and it eases the burden on volunteer election workers for securing and counting every ballot used or not. It's financially incentivised because one blank ballot replaces the need to print excess ballots for each precinct. It's also voter integrity incentivised because any voting location can be audited by counting paper ballots vs the machine count.
