Smooth Paper-Backed e-Voting In Nevada

LVRyan writes "The AP via Yahoo is reporting on Nevada's new touchscreen voting machines that also leave a full paper trail. They were used in Tuesday's primaries with few problems. I had a chance to use the machine myself, and was happy with the clear verification the paper trail provides for the voter and in the case of a recount. No hanging chads here!"

    Because of gambling. Nevada's got so many video gaming machines/slot machines that they're rather adept at investigating and regulating such machinery as a state.

    Or so I'd imagine.

    Basically, the knowledge required to run & regulate the gambling industries electronics honestly would be useful for voting machines.

    Paper trail verifiable instantly by the voter? I'm all for it!
