Whoa... You have paper ballots?
Yep. Paper ballots and the quick small line waited for each voter to see their ballot be ran through the scanner and approved.
I do have a bit of apprehension about the signature verification though. I'll bring that up after we see some results later today.

Thanks, that's reassuring on the ID check. There was a slight hesitation, while the machine read the barcode on my license.I agree, especially if they start recording the signature from an electronic device like an iPad. Your signature NEVER looks right on those touchscreens. like how Indy does it. The tablet scans the 2d barcode on the back of your ID and proves your ID 100%. No accidental marking a neighboring voter instead of the actual voter, etc.
I think there MUST also be a paper trail. Any suggestion to go 100% digital is outright dangerous and opens it up for serious voter fraud. Its exponentially easier to quietly create and delete digital votes than it is to throw away paper ballots or fill out more ballots and stuff the box. As a programmer, I can stuff an electronic ballot box in seconds, possibly without detection because its all about creating and deleting objects that dont physically exist inside a box you cant easily see into. If I tried that on paper, I'd have to find ballots to steal, take time filling them out, and then figure out how to get them into the box without detection. It would be MUCH easier to do so behind the scenes electronically.
