Many states and counties which offer touch-screen systems on Election Day also allow the voter to <em>request a paper ballot<\/em> at the polls. Others offer voters a choice when voting between &#8220;paper or plastic&#8221; (touch-screen or paper ballot). For example, in CA, every voter has the <i>right<\/i> to vote on a paper ballot, even as some jurisdictions tend to simply point voters towards the touch-screens. Check with your state and\/or county before voting to find out <em>your rights<\/em> and if you&#8217;re allowed to vote on paper on Election Day! The unverifiable vote you cast may otherwise be your own!<\/p>\n<p><center><i><b>* * *<\/b><\/i><\/center><!--BB-DONATEPITCH-START--><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f0e0; border:2px solid #6b5a2e; border-radius:6px; padding:10px 14px; text-align:center; font-family:Georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"display:block; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#3a2e0e; font-size:0.95em; line-height:1.5;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.BradBlog.com\">The BRAD BLOG<\/a> covers your electoral system, fiercely and independently, like no other media outlet in the nation.
