I want Section 6.8 to require a voter-verified paper audit trail for ALL voters and voting systems.  In addition, I would also like to say that there is ample evidence in the professional literature that electronic voting machines as they are today in the US are full of secuirty holes, some seem to be there on purpose.

If the rest of Western Civilization can get by without fancy gadgets, then why can;t we?  Without confidence in our election systems, this country is losing its soul.
