[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [qb] With ballots now scanned, the questionable ones, say a stray marking across the voting field, or a "not too strong" erasure, can be more readily resolved with a manual review. [/qb][/QUOTE]Don't know about the rest of the country, but in Mississippi we were not allowed to do any form of manual review. Also, marks were done with a pen issued and retrieved at the poll. The only thing we could do was tell the person to check his marks and reinsert the ballot. If machine would still not accept the ballot, the only thing that could be done would be take it to the appropriate person, state what was happening, tear it in two and insert it into the spoiled ballot bag and then be given a new blank ballot with a few words on the appropriate way to mark it. It is amazing how many of these spoiled ballots were by someone who changed their mind and then decided to put a big "X" across the choice they did not want to take. Amazing the number of times I had to say, no, you do not sign this anywhere as that is the whole point behind the concept of secret ballot. Once you proved that you have the right to vote here, the rest is secret. [/QB][/QUOTE]
