Comment :  Voting machine recommendations

To Whom It May Concern:

Election integrity is so important to the continuation of our democracy  
and
is so at risk with the advent of the voting machines, that I am motivated  
to
write to you today.

I urge you to mandate voter verifiable paper ballots with the voting
machines, so there can be recounts, audits and so we know how our votes  
were
cast.  I am deadset against wireless voting machines or machines connected
to the internet as they are too easy to hack.  And I am in favor of Open
Voting and against closed proprietary systems, where we don't know how the
machines are programmed to  work.
