- Butterfly Ballot Type Voting Booth - This mobile voting machine collapses into the size of a briefcase. Fully opened, privacy panels fold out to form a voting booth.

During the 2000 Presidential election, these infamous ballots caused confusion among voters in Palm Beach County, Florida. Spoiled and mismarked ballots forced a recount.

- Gear and Lever Voting Machine, 1978 - Gear and lever voting machines were the quintessential method of voting for two generations of Americans, from the 1920s through the 1980s.

However, they were complicated devices that required constant maintenance and could contribute to undercounting.
