Electronic. The party candidates are arranged in columns. There's a button to vote straight party, or you can press individual buttons across party lines. A light lights up next to your choices, and you press a button marked "CAST VOTE" to finalize your vote.
This. I asked for a paper ballot but was told I couldn't have one. Going to be writing to the Board of Elections.
I'm originally from New York, so I do miss those old switch-and-lever voting machines. When it comes to voting, I don't have the same level of trust in electronic.

It's sounding like this was the last presidential election for these machines, we may still use them in 2010, but by 2012, there will be a different system.

Scantron here too. The world's shortest standardized test, as there were just five offices and two ballot questions (no to 1, yes to 2).

We're still using the "complete the arrow" optical scan. My wife and I voted early last week Wednesday to avoid the madness today.
