It is very near dead Bob.

It is innefficient, and you cannot correct errors on carbon paper. It is slow to file, and there is no efficient way to distribut and/or access these records from other precincts until they are, go figure, scanned and placed on a database.

But, like I said, it will take more than $1M to buy new equipment, set up the networking, and most importantly TRAIN the personnel to use it properly. So, again, no politician wants to spend money NOW that will save later. That is the problem with our system, that even if something will benefit in the long run, politicians do not want to risk ANYTHING that will not show positive gains before re-election.
