The Pensacola [FL] News-Journal begins an editorial this way, “There is little of more importance in a democracy than that each qualified voter who appears at the polls on an Election Day will be able to vote and that this vote will be recorded and counted accurately.

 

“Many states, including Florida, are switching from paper ballots to high-tech, ATM-like electronic voting machines. With the increasing use of the new machines, there is mounting evidence suggesting that touch-screen machines present a far graver threat to the integrity of America's elections.

 

“We urge state lawmakers to consider two election reform bills that require a paper trail of all votes. Repeated studies have shown that touch-screen machines, which provide voters with no paper record of their ballots, are highly susceptible to tampering.”
