By the way, this was the last election paper ballots were made available in Santa Clara County. I'm told that the machines will print receipts (that you can't take with you -- obviously) for future elections. If you still want paper, register as an absentee voter. You can still hand deliver an absentee ballot to any precinct in the county.
