52. I always thought....
...that unverifiable voting would be illegal for just the reason you say. So why isn't it? That's what I don't understand. Evidently Democratic senators weren't even given an opportunity to introduce legislation that would mandate paper trails.

Why can't we just outlaw voting technology that makes recounts impossible? And/or shouldn't it already be illegal? If it is in conflict with existing law, could there be successful court challenges?

And anyway, what's wrong with checking off a box with a pencil the way they do in Europe?
