Paper trails for electronic voting machines?
There's some balance on the Chronicle editorial page today on an important issue -- paper trails for electronic voting machines of the sort that we use in Harris County.
The Editorial LiveJournalists make the case for paper trails, a case that a number of local bloggers have been making for quite some time now.
Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman makes the case against paper trails, or at least the case against rushing to implement a paper-trail system and mucking things up in the process.
My notion is that paper trails would be a nice reform, along with reforms designed to enhance the integrity and security of elections (like photo identification), and that the experienced and respected Kaufman ought to be deeply involved in any such discussions in Austin.
What do you say?
