A debate raged on Tuesday in the US Senate over whether electronic ballots should be backed by paper copies, as new evidence emerges supporting the performance of electronic voting machines.
Currently paper trails are mandatory in just 22 of the 50 US states, but a bill now being reviewed by the Senate would force the entire nation to adopt them.
The argument centres upon which voting technology is best at simultaneously preventing inaccuracies, fraud, technical glitches and confusion and making voting accessible to the disabled, all without incurring excessive expense.
