Comment : | The paper audit trail should be made MANDATORY in ALL election jurisdictions, and should be the OFFICIAL LEGAL ballot. Without such a paper trail, or without making the paper trail the OFFICIAL LEGAL BALLOT in case of recount or dispute, there is NO WAY TO GUARANTEE that DRE fraud, whether committed by election officials or, more likely, by people hacking in from outside (manufacturer's programming staff, for example) will be discovered or proven.
