"A modest proposal - from a programmer
How's this for a voting system: Carbon-paper ballots, in triplicate. Voter checks off their choices. White copy goes in the white bin (tallied by Republican-appointed polling officials). Pinnk copy goes in the pink bin (tallied by Democratic-appointed polling officials). "Goldenrod" or "canary" copy goes in the yellow bin (tallied by a UN-approved auditing company)"

HEY! That's MY idea. NCR paper. I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago on one of Bev's threads and have advocated it for more than a year. A little bit different from Scotty's, though. One copy to ballot box, one copy to voter, one copy to designated non-governmental trustee such as Riggs, Wells Fargo, UPS. Serially numbered ballots for each precinct. Publication of results by ballot number posted at each precinct for thirty days so voters can go look to make sure their vote was allocated properly.
