3. EEEEEEK.... "confirmation slips".... "receipts".....

Yup, sorry to blow you out of the water, but...

We need legal, Voter Verified Paper BALLOTS going into a locked BALLOT box only. Where they will be available for counting and/or recounting.

If the paper coming out of the machine leaves the polling place, all kinds of hell could burst forth... "I'll give ya' $500 for a Jeb Bush receipt," or (from Boss, on election day), "Show me your confirmation slip tomorrow that you voted for President Frist or clean out your locker!"

And it is very UNlikely that voters will receive a paper confirming their vote by the next election, UNLESS we all keep up the pressure and keep on track and message.

NGU and NSU.
