To my knowledge, Nevada is the only State that had the paper hard copy option installed on the electronic voting machines. I used this machine in the primaries and I had to OK the hard copy before my vote was accepted. Once accepted, the hard copy ballot rolled up on a spool and all this process was visible, but behind a clear plastic locked cover.
So the question is really why other States didn?t get the hard copy option, not if it can be done or not. Then the question becomes exactly who or whom influenced the buying decision and why. Hands-on ballot manipulation habits die hard, especially in the supposed ?blue states?, so I?m not at all surprised that a legitimate paper trail and back-up data is not at all desirable. I?m very suspicious of non-backed up data from a black box number cruncher. And there is no doubt in my mind at all that there is some renegade trick code floating around that will be used to ?refine? the black box data somewhere in the number crunching loop.
