Speaking generally in the words of the world's first fascist dictator, Mussolini to democratic leaders. I don't care who votes I care who counts the votes.
It's even sillier than that, because the paper ballots at the polling center are all digitally recorded at the time the ballot is generated. In other words, you go to the polling center; receive a blank sheet of paper; insert that blank paper into a computer; enter your voting selections on a touch screen computer; the computer then prints your ballot elections on the paper and shows it to you (but you can't remove it from its special tray); you click yes to agree to the printout; computer then sucks the paper back inside its printer, and you're all done except for the "I voted" sticker to make you feel like an excited third grader all over again.
So most of these ballots are recorded on a computer before they take them away for counting.
