Some useful information
Amid a lot of blather that we’ve already heard dozens of times this election cycle, stuff about how infallible touch screen machines are and how, in the event of a close race requiring a recount, workers will go back to the same machines that produced vote totals and get the same totals out again, there is one important paragraph:
The only thing to manually recount in touch screen counties are absentee ballots and provisional ballots, which are cast when it is unclear if the voter is qualified. Both types of ballots are paper, optical-scan ballots.
Create a paper trail of your vote by voting absentee, or voting early and requesting an paper absentee ballot. Here’s how.
And look here for absentee voting info.
