Discussion:  
This is the basic requirement for VVPAT capability. It requires that the  
paper record be created as a distinct representation of the voter's ballot  
choices. It requires that the paper record contain the same information  
as contained in the electronic record and be suitable for use in  
verifications and recounts of the election and of the voting station's  
electronic records. Thus, either only the paper or electronic record  
could/can be used as the ballot of record for the election.
