Reply #46: not verifiable with paper trail?

[SDent]

remind me please why this is so - if the computer spits a piece of paper out that the voter verifies and then places in a lockbox, how is that not auditable? If a manual recount takes place they can verify the paper trail against the electronic count. what am i missing?

also as a follow up to last night I received this auto-response today:

"Thanks for your note. I'm interested in what you have to say about
your inquiry but I can't read it right now.

Information on the DIAC-03 workshop can be found at
http://www.cpsr.org/program/sphere/diac-03. You can also
ask Fiorella de Cindio ([email protected])
for information.

I'll be back in e-mail contact around August 1, 2003.
If you don't hear back from me soon after that please feel
free to send me a reminder.

I'll keep looking around for some other like minded experts who might be able to give the research being done a look...
