[ale] [Fwd: Re: Vote Today - Message from Marie

[Charles Shapiro]

Yes but. That's not independent verification. A paper tape which
recorded the vote at the time it was entered, and which I could
personally verify as correct after hitting the "record" button, would be
a step in the right direction. 

I tried to explain this to the nice drone in the shopping mall where I
first saw these evil things, but she couldn't or wouldn't understand the
issue.
