Is anyone manufacturing an electronic voting machine
that HAS a paper trail?

If not, why don't we start a company doing it? I know I and several others here could program them easily.

If so, why arent we actively selling govts on these units?

1. Yes, TruVote
http://truvote.com/

If you are in Georgia, you can see this system:
The State and Local Government Operations Committee will meet this Thursday, March 4th at 4:00 pm in LOB 310.

The Committee will again take up consideration of SB-500, to require that DRE voting machines "produce a permanent paper record with a manual audit capacity". Committee members have requested a demonstration of the existing Diebold machine and of the Tru-Vote machine (which does provide for the production of voter verified paper ballots).

The room will accomodate about 120 persons. It is important that we fill the seats! We must show the members of this Committee how important passage of SB-500 is to our community and the people of Georgia. Please mark your calendars, take the afternoon off from work, mark your friends' calendars, have them arrange to get off as well and plan to join us there.

To educate yourself about SB-500 and the issues surrounding "faith-based voting", to learn why we believe a voter verified paper audit trail of our election system is so important, please link to:
