My worries definitely apply to punch cards, and even more so to touchscreens. It's one of the things that concerned me even before election day.
I know, my paper vote could be thrown out (though I keep assuming that feeding it into the ballot box myself would keep that from happening, I have to admit there must be some way to get around all that), or something. It still doesn't feel like the high-tech approach is the appropriate one for this situation. Not yet, anyway.
And I know that there are other issues from paper ballots, but for some reason those seem more able to be worked out than the other possible problems. Again, probably just what I'm used to...
