Every state should be what we do in Texas:
1. Show ID upon arrival
2. Get a paper ballot
3. Put the paper ballot into the machine
4. Select your choices on the screen of the machine
5. Confirm your choices on a final page of the screen
6. Have the machine print these choices back to you on the paper you inserted, giving you the ability to again read and triple check your selections.
7. Go to another machine where someone is supervising the input of the paper ballot into the machine and the machine reads it
Three key takeaways: 1. ID, 2. ability to confirm several times what your ballot says, 3. both electronic and paper trails
I take it you're saying the paper ballot is always available for audit, which is good. I wonder if the ballot is marked as it goes through the final read so that it can be linked to the machine that read it. Very iffy otherwise because of "the machine reads it".
Sounds almost fraud proof.
