RE: Guess they didn't use an iSeries...

To me it would make more since to randomize, the RRN of where the vote is
written into the database...  Instead of randomizing the output.

The voting machine companies are very cognizant of the need to maintain 
a secret ballot.  The software randomizes the output so that the 
anonymity of each voter is preserved.

on the printout, ballot number  1701 would obviously be mine.
