LOS ANGELES ELECTIONS
City Clerk Is Counting on a Smoother Vote
Inkavote ballots slowed the tally in the March 8 mayoral contest. For Tuesday's runoff, a method that's less prone to error will be used.

By Steve Hymon, Times Staff Writer

As elections go, the evening of the March 8 vote in Los Angeles was hardly the best of times for City Clerk Frank T. Martinez.

Gone, for now, is the Inkavote system in which a narrow ballot card is placed in a holder and marked with a special pen.

Replacing it will be a simple paper ballot that lists each race or issue and requires voters to use a marker to fill in an oval next to their choices. The ballots are already being used by absentee voters.

The benefit: It's hard for anyone to mess up, says Martinez, although he can foresee that some people will manage to either miss the oval or instead circle the candidate's name.

Verifiable paper ballots!

the graphite content of the ink is the issue. HarmonyGuy can answer this question. He did quite a bit of work on this early on. I would pm him a link to this thread and ask for his opinion.

What's the deal with graphite content? Is that what the scanner uses to read the results?
