10. Don't forget only 8% of VVPAT or VVPB error is caught!
per the MIT study that came out recently. If the machine accidentally or on purpose prints out wrong votes, few people actually catch it!!! Yet the ballot is now considered the Holy Grail of "voter verified"

Which is why I say that voter verified on top of a TOUCHSCREEN simply makes fraud EASIER, more FOOLPROOF, and makes a raving lunatic out of anyone who would stumble upon the truth....

Also, I'm reading rush holt's bill through again, looking for a requirement that the paper trail of any kind MATCH the electronic trail. So far all i see is the procedure if it does not match, but that may only be discovered in a recount, triggered by OTHER reasons because some kind of cause is needed to look at the paper trail to begin with. So, the paper trail is rendered deceptive and largely unavailable.
