Well, the good news is that you don't have to worry about the integrity of touch-screen voting machines. Assuming the mail gets delivered there is a paper trail; too many of us are forced to rely on the honesty of proprietary software run on insecure computer systems to have our votes registered.
I'll take that over the camaraderie many Ohioans endured in 2004, waiting in line for hours in the rain because they had the misfortune to vote in precincts supplied with insufficient numbers of voting machines (in a pattern that was far from neutral with respect to the prospects of the major parties).
