I find it incredible that voting mechanisms and rules vary so much across the US.
Voting here has been standardised for a long time on drawing crosses with a pencil in boxes on bits of paper. This year's election (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jaq/818774.html) was the first where they've used automated counting machines, but they just scanned the paper so it wasn't much different for voters.
