We have touch screens. I recall paper. Both have had issues. Sooo, we just go with the flow!

New technology has glitches just different than the old technology.

I wouldn't call myself old-fashioned, but
A few things about electronic stuff, no matter what they are for, is that it shuts down or can be programmed to something else.
To be honest, I'd prefer paper. Also in case of elections.

Of course any methof can be tampered with but I really worry about those touch screens that they could be set in a way that one candidate is sure to win.

Well I do find the touch screens at the Doctor's reception sometimes suffer a glitch and some folk are all thumbs. Of course the voting method we use is simple one just drops a pebble into the box of one's present favorite candidate.

We had paper and pencil ballots at our primary also. It was nice and quick with not a lot of waiting.
