Related: About this forumvoting with felt pen vs regular pen
In the past, I've voted in MN with a regular pen.
Today, my booth had a felt pen. The ink showed on the other side of the page.
I hope there isn't a stray-mark problem.

I used a regular ink pen and paper when I voted in NORCAL. The handy paper makes recounting a vote so easy. There are no instant vote reporting until the next morning when all the paper is collected and votes counted.

that I have voted in the last 20 years I have used a felt pen to fill in the oval.

All the pens at my polling place were ink pens, not felt. But if there was a problem the scantron would have alerted you when you fed it in.
