Table 7: Median WPE by voting equipment

Type of equipment used at.... ....Median WPE {Within Pct. Error}
..........Polling place............. .............. Overall .............
_________________________ . . . ______________________________
Paper ballot . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -0.9
Mechanical voting machine . . . . . . . . -10.3
Touch screen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -7.0
Punch cards . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -7.3
Optical scan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -5.5

Precincts with paper ballots, used primarily in rural precincts, showed a median WPE of –0.9, consistent with chance, while all other technologies were associated with unexplained high WPE discrepancies between election and exit poll results.
