Another Texan here. That has not been my experience.
I've lived and voted in Austin for 15 years and have never seen a single paper ballot. Our voting machines are, and have been, simple screens with a scrolly-wheel interface. They produce no paper record for you to review or deposit anywhere.
This would, to me, seem to be a minimum requirement for anyone to have any belief that their vote has been counted correctly.
- warmwaffles 8y agoThere is a paper record. Watch the people running the ballots next time. Your session there was recorded but your vote is not directly tied to you as that would be illegal.
- ghettoimp 8y agoIf the voter doesn't get to see the paper record, what evidence is there that the paper says what they wanted?
