Letting the Voter Count

[xoxoxoBruce]

and the votes are written to a write once memory. A memory complete with security codes and the only place where the candidates names are provided to the machine. For example, a write once memory chip could then replace massive paper, contain code that traces that chip directly to a unique machine

Thanks, TW. I've read a bunch of articles on electronic voting, over the last 4 years and none of them put it all together.
Question - When the votes are written into a write once memory, is it every choice I make goes into a permanent field after the guy before me and before the guy after me? Or does a vote for Joe Blow get routed to Joe Blows field?
The reason I ask is because my poll (Delaware County, PA) keeps a record of names (signatures) and the booth used, in the order they vote. Hence, sequential data fields could be easily matched to the voter list.
