Voting, Electronic or Paper?

Today, Virginia votes for a new Governor. I have a lot going on today, so I got up early (and it was light out at 6 am) to cast my vote.

My biggest pet peeve about voting is when the candidates are at the polling place. I’ve had them call me for weeks, send me junk mail, seen their signs, but when I get to the polling place, I don’t want to see them anywhere on the property unless they are voting.

But the real vote today was for electronic or paper ballot. Our voting place had 1 electronic booth and 4 paper ballot booths. Being the geek that I am, I voted using the electronic booth. I personally trust the electronic process over the paper especially after all the hanging chads in Florida a few years back.

I’m curious if you have a choice between paper or electronic voting, which would you choose?
