Sorry for the fast send. (darn laptop keeps done phantom mouse clicks when I
type. :-)

I meant to say then three machines where:

1. A voting/ballot machine that printed who you voted for in plain text and
in a bar code format on one side. (you could then place your ballot in a
spiecal 
holder that only exposed the bar code.

2. A code reader than then read the encoding of the bar code to you.

3. a machine that you placed your ballot into that then counted the votes. 

The whole point of the system was that since all three machine where simple an
open spec. you could acquire them from different vendor and check the results
by what they print. 

This system is comple ignored since it was proven that they where far to cheep
to make.
