    Uhh, no they do not.

    I have no option in Georgia for a paper ballot. I do it on a touchscreen computer each time. Yes that gets printed after i Digitally do it but not in an easy to read way. Then i put it into a bin that scans it and shreds it. No paper trail.

      The bin does not shred it.

      But yeah the qr code being what’s scanned but the text being what you can read seriously compromises voter verifiability. So close, but not voter verifiable. Close enough to fool people.

        A digital that is printed and then shredded is not a paper ballot.

        A paper ballot is a paper I vote on. That stays intact for historical accuracy.

        From your stance I am invincible. I have not died in the last five minutes therefore i am invincible.

          no that is very much a paper ballot. The historical record part isn’t important.

            But it is. Otherwise if the voting machine has an error, the paper it prints out has the wrong info, at that point there is no validation that can occur via recount or any other means.

              Or heaven forbid something in the software allows it to print the right vote but record the wrong vote. I’m with you: no paper trail = not a paper ballot.
