Comment :  Currently, a paper trail is shown as optional.  It should be made manditory.  There are too many ways for computer fraud and where there are close races, there is no way to confirm that the electronic form accurately represents the wishes of the voters using this equipment.

This section should be made manditory.

Look at Ohio in the last election where there was no way to verify the contested results.
