Iowa Voters

Hours ago the Maryland House of Representatives voted 137-0 to immediately stop using paperless voting machines. Maryland has nearly new equipment that was installed across the state. A TV website has the story:

The bill comes after concerns from both parties that the current voting machines don’t produce paper receipts that could be counted by hand in a contested election. The bill says voters this year will use optical scan ballots on which they fill in a circle or arrow next to the names of candidates and then feed the paper ballot into a machine which records the votes.

Will the Iowa House EVER get up to speed?
