41. A bill is either there or it isn't there
We want to know more about paper ballots than whether or not they exist.

I agree that redundancy and auditing can make optical scanning reliable. You have to look at the checks and balances in the entire process to get results that you can have confidence in. Handcounting needs checks and balances as well.

As David Dill said. "It is not enough that elections be accurate; we have to know that they are accurate and we don't."
