as I understand them.
In some states, the paper trail is just a receipt, printed (correctly or incorrectly) by the voting machine ... provided that the machine and the printer boot up properly and the printer doesn't jam. The paper isn't used for the original count. Plus, the paper trail could be printed on thermal paper, which fades very quickly over time.
Why on earth should machines be used instead of voters to mark ballots? Why should any voter have to rely on a machine and its printer to function properly and print their vote correctly?
Better idea: paper ballots with pens to mark them. The tried and true method of voting. Nice and low tech.
