28. Or use the computer to actually

print the ballot as you cast it.

It then has only your votes, nothing else

Ex:

President:

Albert Gore

Senate:

Barbara Boxer

Congress:

John Conyers

Instead of:

Albert Gore X
George W. Bush
Ralph Nader

Where somone can then erase your mark and change the vote.

The first is absolutely unambiguous, the second prone to tampering.

The ballot produced can then be rad by an OpScanner for fast counting.

Nice system, but requires lots of hardware, alas.
