>How hard would it be to have PCs at a polling place where we would just check a checkbox and it would be recorded. There would be no reason for a hand count.
While it's not a PC (and I really wouldn't want to be using a PC for this), I vote on electronic voting machines. The voting portion is a touch panel, but not just a touch screen - it has depth.
To vote for someone, you press on their name. A little light goes on next to the name. I don't remember for sure (or maybe I've never done it) how you change it. Either you have to press the same name again and then the new one, or you just press the new one and then the first one goes out. I tend to think that you have to turn the one off first because sometimes we're voting for more than one person per office.
When you're done voting, you press a great, big, red button that completes the process.
When the polls close, the judge of elections has a special key (or code, I'm not sure which) to get the results.
