Paper or digital?

By Josh Sweigart | Tuesday, October 28, 2008, 07:08 PM

The days of presidential races being called in the early evening on Election Day are far over. And in Ohio, it may be later than ever.

Due to concerns over the trustworthiness of voting machines (including problems that occurred in Butler County during the March primary), Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is letting voters decide if they want to use a machine or a paper ballot. Just let them know at your polling place when you get there.

But they plan to count the paper ballots after the machines have been tallied. If a lot of people opt for paper, it could be a long night.

Which do you plan to use? Go here to vote and see the results of our online poll.
