So, can you read machine code on the fly? Or is the human language printed portion of that ballot making you feel warm and fuzzy because it shows how you believe you voted but you have no idea how the machine language portion is reporting that for tabulationWith the machine/human readable ballots, the voting machine printed out the ballot after I was finished. I took the ballot over to a station that had a person who instructed me to feed it through the counter. I was given an envelope to put the ballot in, and then was instructed to put through a slot on a bin with a paddle lock on it. None of the election workers ever touched my ballot during the whole process. And when I left my ballot was locked in the bin.
