Oregon is a vote by mail state, I imagine that they use an optical scanning machine of some sort or other to read the ballots. However in my county there is somebody running a pretty serious write-in campaign for county commissioner, I don't expect him to win, but I did vote for the guy, and I anticipate he'll probably pull better than 30% of the votes. This likely means that alot of the ballots will have to be hand counted.
