How are the paper ballots counted? In my county, we use the Diebold Accuvote-OS (optical scanner). I doubt that the touchscreens have zero security and the scanners are perfect, so this is cold comfort.

However, our local organization, the Voter Confidence Committee, managed to convince the County Recorder to promise a 10% hand-counted audit.
