    Here in Ohio you do a touch screen that prints out a paper ballot which has both English and barcode for each choice then you go to a different machine to cast your ballot by scanning it in. This gave me the opportunity to double check everything, once when reviewing I made the correct decisions before printing, then again to confirm my ballot said what I voted for.

    I wasn’t aware that wasn’t the norm

        It can also be used for people with disabilities. And while it is more expensive it can be much quicker and lead to shorter line times.
