"While GOP candidate Mitt Romney may have walked away with a winning
edge in the Iowa Straw Poll, Diebold was true to form as their voting system
failed to count ballots correctly. As the Des Moines Register is reporting two
of Diebold's optical scanners failed and 1500 paper ballots had to be manually
recounted by hand..."
I strongly believe that since technology is never fool proof, and doesn't always work, there must be a way to check to votes. What if there is a power outage in a location where the polling station is, and all that you have is the computer voting machines. I have used optical scan ballots a number of times, and think that they are the best solution. They can be counted quickly by a machine, but they can also be recounted if there is a doubt. Also they would remain effective even if the power went out.
