And let me tell you, what a stupid idea to have paper records and electronic records...a lot of money to do this and in my precint in Californa - we just went to electronic voting-it was a mess...the precint workers were not trained and this was with just electronic-if they had to reconcile paper and electronic voting, well it would create more confusion etc etc. Several people were turned away from the polls and told to come back later because of the switch over from paper to electronic.
