Voted early in Otero County, NM today ( red enclave in a blue state).
Paper ballots marked with blue felt markers, and a ballot scanner. No receipt from the ballot scanner, which I found slightly suspicious (I couldn’t see the brand or model of ballot scanner).
Aren’t the ballot scanners supposed to give you a receipt of some sort?
Here in Pima County AZ the scanner produced a receipt with a QR code to track my ballot. According to the info my signature was verified and my ballot counted.
