I don't mind the electronic machines, but the MUST print out a paper ballot, which most do not.
You can check that ballot, and then drop it in the ballot box. The paper ballots are counted and checked against the computer count. They better match. Redundant and a paper trail.

I agree with the redundancy of a paper ballot to match your electronic ballot.

I don't buy that... either its a computer glitch that you believe is going to screw you, or its an accidental sticking of two pieces of paper together that screws you.
I don't understand people that think if they have a piece of paper, suddenly they are 'guaranteed' anything.
In your case, I can see the accusations that the machine would start printing out things other than your vote, and it ends up being a big here-say argument between the electronic vote, the paper vote, and which one you end up saying you agree with.
