more security is needed for electronic voting, starting with voter-verified paper trails.

I don't even know what this means. Voter-verified paper trails? Will the voters be asked to verify these paper trails? That will stop voters who are bent on cheating?? Or do they mean "paper verification of voter registration"? That would seem to make more sense.

Also, if the solution to an electronic problem is more paper, then perhaps we should just go back to paper ballots (like they had in Florida). The NYT will like that, huh?

Arguing symantics? How Clintonesque. Voter verified paper trails means the machine spits out a receipt which the voter keeps as a record of his/her vote. (I read somewhere that Diebold claimed the technology to do this is beyond them. This begs the question of how they make it happen with cash machines).
