Its not unambiguous, look at this ballot and tell me who they voted for. It tied a race in Virginia just last year. https://mobile.twitter.com/virginianpilot/s

  This is why I like lines instead of bubbles and pencils instead of pens. Regardless, this is actually the fault of the user rather than machines. As far as I know you can still get a replacement if you do this.

    Pencils scare me. Mutable paper trails seem less than ideal. I think I prefer a pen along with an option to request a new form in the event of a mistake. Optical scan for counting along with a paper trail for random sampling. I don’t know the perfect system, but a dual recording mechanism for back checks seems better than just relying on paper or just relying on machines.
