   I would assume they use touch screens. That's what we have here in    
   Johnson County, KS. It's that or mail-in ballots, which must be    
   requested rather early.   
   Personally, I like the mark-sense ballots you use, Amy. It leaves an    
   actual paper ballot marked by the voter that can be counted in case of    
   malfunctions. (Other that a malfunctioning voter, of course...)
