no one has managed this in 200 years of practice says what? It says all states have not tried the fool proof methods. I voted in Alaska for eleven years. It's pretty fool proof there. --It's really quite simple: --each voter registers in a precinct. --The polling place has a list of registered voters for that precinct. --The voters sign the list next to their name. --If they are not on the list they can submit a contested ballot, --which will be verified in case of a close election. --The voter receives a paper ballot with clear instructions on how to mark the optical reader forms that you vote on. After completing the ballot, the voter places the paper in a reader, the votes are counted, and the ballot is sequestered in case a recount is needed. I never heard of any recounts.
