21. Your argument makes no sense to me, John
Why make it a two-step when you can have a one-step all along, to get what you want.

buying a house: I want a contract
vs.
buying a house: I want a paper trail and look in section 1c on page 2, where it defines paper trail as a contract.

The second one leaves more room for argument than the first.

The only people I know of who are actually fighting to call it a trail instead of a ballot are people with a VoteHere agenda who know it is politically incorrect to say so.

Otherwise, just say "ballot" and be done with it. Why ask for what you don't want, and depend on politicians to (hopefully) define it your way, after they fight their way through lobbyist, vendors and people who want to do end runs around proper auditing? Why not ask for what you DO want and make the bad guys do the fighting?
