Comment : | Subject Verified voting I thank the Commission for their recommendation that any computerized voting machines produce a paper ballot for recounts. I urge most strongly that this be adopted. We have a Democratic Club here with 200 members. All but two are in favor of that requirement. I have talked to elected officials here and they, too, are in favor of that requirement. This is not a partisan issue. I testified with a Republican ElectionJudge in Anne Arundel County, MD before the MD legislature in favor of paper ballots to verify all votes cast. The most important thing is accuracy and the faith of the voters in the system. Thanks to former Pres. Carter and Mr. Baker for heading an excellent Commission.
