ANCHORAGE - Voters won't get the chance to use Alaska's 100 new touchscreen voting machines in today's election.
Laura Glaiser, director of the state Divisions of Elections, said that unless the machines are upgraded to leave a paper trail, they likely will never be used.
"I have to look at the integrity of the voting process," Glaiser said
The state picked Diebold for compatibility, because the company also makes the Accu-Vote machines now used in many precincts, Glaiser said.
Around the country, critics say the paperless touchscreen machines are subject to tampering and fraud. They say paper receipts that voters could check should be required.

A state law passed this year requires a paper trail but gives a two-year grace period, which means the machines could have been used.
