Comment :  4] Throughout history unscrupulous groups and individuals have attempted  
to manipulate elections.  Manual voting systems provide a paper trail that permits recounts.  However,
the computer-controlled voting machines being used do not provide a paper trail.  A new technique for auditing votes must be put in place in order to protect our  democratic
system and the right of citizens to choose their leaders.
