The Sanford Expresso Bold Tip is a fast drying water based
fiber tip marker that will not dry out if left voting day without the top
on. It fills the oval with little effort and X's and checks are easily
detected. It has no carbon in the ink and CANNOT be used with infra-red
Accu-Votes. It will not soak into the paper. This is the pen of
choice north of the border where write-ins are not a factor.

Felt tip pens appear to be the best
marking instrument for filling in the voting ovals with the least
effort. Felt tip pens can be water based or alcohol base. Water
based don't bleed as much as alcohol based but in higher humidity conditions,
water based doesn't dry as fast as alcohol based. So either may be
used. Greg Forsythe tried the Sanford Espresso's a while back, which
were an alcohol base that didn't bleed as much, but I believe there was a
problem with the pens drying out too quickly.
