Before being able to vote, you must provide the check in person with your drivers license (I assume a state ID card would work as well for those without drivers licenses), and once the systems says you can vote, you are lead to a machine where you can vote. You do not check in until a machine is open for you, and are queued in line.
You use a voting machine to print out your ballot, that you can then examine. It's fed into a scanner that counts the vote. The voter is the ONLY person that handles the ballot from the time it's printed until the time it's scanned and stored.
You get the best of both worlds, a physical ballot that is basically guaranteed to be filled out correctly, and an instant count.
This is (by far) the best way to do the votes that I have seen yet.
The argument is that the software used to tabulate your vote is compromised. Texas is included in the list of states using the same software and Michigan. Iirc
What we do in Texas makes the most sense...
