I can't find out for sure if Missouri uses electronic voting machines in it's elections. If yes, is it everywhere or just some counties? If no, did they use them previously?

Missouri used electronic voting machines made by "Votronic", with the option to use optically scanned paper ballots. Electronic voting machines were used in the 2006 primary, but not previously.

My observation as a poll-watcher is that the Democrat election judge strongly suggested the Votronics to the voters who were walking in with Democrat sample ballots in their hands. The judge said the Votronics were faster and more reliable than paper ballots, because any failure completely fill in the selection "oval" on the paper ballot would void that part of the vote. Those voters stood in long lines to use the Votronics. There was no wait necessary to vote with a paper ballot.

The judge tried to influence anyone who appeared to be a likely Republican voter to use the paper ballot.

now that Dems are in majority- it's a chance to clean up ALL future elections FOREVER in America-

the voting HAS to be something that people feel 100% confident about - PERIOD - otherwise we are a nation divided - and you know it's true -
Divided we fall-
so there is no choice -
fix it, or become a future citizen of China

(we owe them trillions of dollars since Bush got in office, and we HAVE to pay them back with interest, over the next few hundred years- too bad we are STILL borrowing more and more from them- as well as Japan and Europe)
