At the “Election Clerk” training, an interesting little issue came up. Apparently, voters in this election are allowed to vote with a paper ballot if they so chose, rather than using the electronic voting machines. However, the election clerks are forbidden from asking a voter which they would like to use. The voter has to know to ask for a paper ballot; if he or she doesn’t ask for one, they are voting on the touch screens.
I will leave it as an exercise for the more cynical reader to determine a rationale for this regulation.
