"You'd still want a paper trail" <<<<<<<<<<< this
Our new voting machines in our county are awesome, I hope they are used across the state (NJ).
You get a blank piece of paper that you insert into the machine. You vote electronically, and it prints your vote out in plain readable text on the paper, and presents it to you protected under a piece of glass (maybe pexiglass?) to validate your choices. If there is something wrong, you can reject it at this point. If you accept it, it records your vote electronically, and swallows the paper ballot as a record.
Nice clear printed text. No chads.
