I just wanted to mention my experience in Fairfax County, VA, where I've voted on electronic machines for years.

This year, my old precinct was still doing the majority of their voting electronically. They had one box for accepting paper ballots waaay in the back, but was (I found out later) almost entirely for curb-side voting for the handicapped.

At my new precinct, before we entered the voting place a woman handed us two paper ballots. Scratch that, she practically shoved them in our hands saying "Take these!" When we got in the room, we noticed three or four electronic voting machines. I asked the person in the room why they weren't using the machines, and she had two responses:

1) she was slightly surprised and perturbed that the woman outside didn't even mention the choice of the machines

2) she claimed that the machines would be banned in the area soon

I don't know if this was true, but I still find it surprising. I've used the machines for years.
