Our Diebold Elec Voting Machines Have a "Paper Trail"

[Fern]

Lot of talk about no paper trail for auditing etc.

I was surprised to see that our machines (here in Western NC) actually recorded our vote on a paper strip that we could see to confirm our was recorded correctly.

I'm just curious if others also have this feature.

Your state?

I know you're from NC, but not everyone here has "clickable" profiles.

The problem is they shred the paper inside the machine and reprints with all GOP votes

We have ES&S touchscreen units without a paper verification.
However, we have a countywide (Sarasota-FL) ballot proposal to mandate a paper trail before the '08 elections.

I voted a big YES!

Do a search for "Hacking Democracy" to find out why the paper printouts are meaningless.

Better yet, tune in to HBO to watch the documentary of the same name.
