  15. Following on from discussion of various "primitive" voting machines in
  16. use in the US, I'd like to point out that in the UK we still put a
  17. pencil cross next to the name of our preferred candidate on a piece of
  18. paper; the votes are counted (and frequently recounted) by people.
