Comment

As this list illustrates, OpScan is the most widely-used voting system in the United States. Despite increased use of DREs due to HAVA funding and the misunderstanding of some states soon after HAVA passed that HAVA required DREs, a number of states have increased their use of OpScan rather than decreased it, including North Carolina, California, Washington and perhaps others. For example, Buncombe County in North Carolina recently decided to sell its ES&S iVotronic DREs despite having just purchased them -- they used them in one election and decided to switch to the Automark paper-ballot-marker.

There are also some states or counties that use paper ballots that are hand-counted but the list has not been compiled yet.
