Any election system using DREs is fully digital. That's the whole point.
I'm not aware of any jurisdiction that uses VVPAT for the final count. And most don't even use the VVPAT for auditing or manual recounts. Which is probably just as well, because the VVPAT is just thermal paper (like at the store) and is easily damaged, assuming it was working at all.
Jurisdictions are always changing things. You'd have to get your jurisdiction's manual to learn how they do counts, recounts, audits. And then actually observe to ensure they follow their own rules.
Details matter. Procedures and process matter. Technology is not a cure-all.
