Petition

A paper ballot, whether counted by optical-scan system or hand, is the minimum requirement for any Election Reform legislation in which voters may have confidence. Recent elections proved electronic voting machines - both those without paper ballots, such as Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) touch-screen systems, and even those with so-called "Voter Verified Paper Audit Trails" - caused massive disruptions, undermined the results of crucial elections, and forced thousands of voters to leave the polls without being able to exercise their franchise. Paper ballots are needed to ensure every vote is recorded precisely as the voter intends, that every vote is counted and, if necessary, re-counted accurately.
