>>>.. because NO paper version ever existed.
So what happened to the ballot that I filled out yesterday?
I Didn't say there were NO paper ballots used.
Get it through your head that NOT many voters vote using PAPER BALLOTS any more.
Most use machines which involve NO PAPER record.
They can save your paper ballot for 10 years but if the machines are erased immediately it is then IMPOSSIBLE to do a recount ever.
