Well, there actually were pencil and paper options there as well. In fact, using the machines was entirely optional, and there was about an even number of people at either option. I'm not so much suggesting that "pencil and paper: inferior, voting machines: superior" as I am noting that voting machines aren't inherently a source for fraud, which is just as viable in a system that uses all paper ballots as on the most advanced computer voting machine. It's a double-standard that I find somewhat annoying, because the general opinion seems to be "no one would stoop to ballot box stuffing....unless it's on the computer".
