"And THAT frill accomplishes exactly what??? A slip of paper left in the hand of the voter does squat to protect the integrity of the balloting process. A paper ballot sealed inside the machine which can be hand counted does.
OK, let's go over this again. When I voted last, I did so electronically. As I completed the voting process, a receipt printed and REMAINED INSIDE THE MACHINE. I was able to view my selecions, on paper, through a small glass window.
That is THE definition of a paper trail, is it not? Please, question liberals at every turn. What they are spouting about electronic voting is largely BS.
That is different from my understanding of the process, which was that the "receipt" was printed out and left with the voter rather than stored internally. As I recall, NO story I have seen about touch-screen voting has mentioned this rather critical key point.
If that's the way it works, and a paper hard copy is sealed within the machine, then I have no objections.
