Hobson's choice

Yes, but it's frequently no choice at all.  What I understand is that the jurisdictions are
supposed to retain the ability to process paper (non-machine) ballots, but I've seen this
relegated to a not-well-prepared "back-up plan" in case of power failure or some-such.  The
option is certainly not well publicized in many jurisdictions, and may have something to do
with their vendor contracts.
