Fifteen of the states to hold elections on Super Tuesday used electronic voting machines. New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Delaware, and Arkansas used machines that do not leave any kind of paper trail. How do we know these elections were honest? We have to take their word for it. It’s impossible to do a recount.
Alabama, Arizona, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Utah used paper ballots along with their electronic voting machines, but these states don’t require regular audits to check the electronic results.
California, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri used paper ballots and electronic voting machines, and they do have regular audits. But voting and vote-counting in these states is hardly a model of sanity, much less one of transparency and economy.
