For instance, I'm in PA (sigh, although I love where I live), and there are 3 in-person methods: Optical Scan, DRE (Direct Recording Electronic), and Paper Ballots. I voted by Paper Ballot in my rather small little township.
How is this determined state by state? Would it not make sense if in-person voting used the same method everywhere?
The state chooses the rules… if they aren’t followed someone has to enforce those rules… if they don’t we are in this situation
