These touch-screen devices we will be using Nov. 2 are the Model-Ts of electronic voting. There is much to learn from experience, much that we do not know. And that's why citizens concerned about the integrity of the voting process worry that the system Vanderburgh County will be using this fall does not provide for a paper trail of the votes cast.

(Volusia and Flagler counties use the more reliable optical-scan voting machines, which produce paper ballots.)
