League of Women Voters position on voting machines:

LWVUS supports only voting systems that are designed so that:

• they employ a voter-verifiable paper ballot or other paper record, said paper being the official record of the voter’s intent; and

• the voter can verify, either by eye or with the aid of suitable devices for those who have impaired vision, that the paper ballot/record accurately reflects his or her intent; and

• such verification takes place while the voter is still in the process of voting; and

the paper ballot/record is used for audits and recounts; and

• the vote totals can be verified by an independent hand count of the paper ballot/record; and

• routine audits of the paper ballot/record in randomly selected precincts can be conducted in every election, and the results published by the jurisdiction.
