Okay, I feel better now! When I got the card, the election worker said that my vote would be recorded on the card - that's why I was disturbed about having that card treated so cavalierly.
But they did swipe it and encode it before they gave it to me, and I did see stacks of cards going through a machine that (I assume) erases them.
