I voted by mail. I whipped out a pen, filled in the circles, stuck a stamp on it & shoved it in the mailbox.

I have no idea whether the mailman extracted all the ballots from the box that day and changed some of the votes, though.

"...the technology exists to scan it immediately for errors or omissions and reject it until properly completed"

I agree, but the problem is, the more "technology" is involved, the more distrustful people will be about the programmers and potential hackers, etc. Just look at the ruckus over Diebold and the stuff with blackbox.org and all that.

Personally I'd like to be able to vote over the internet. Too many people will resist that, though. Maybe some day.
