    no that is very much a paper ballot. The historical record part isn’t important.

      But it is. Otherwise if the voting machine has an error, the paper it prints out has the wrong info, at that point there is no validation that can occur via recount or any other means.

        Or heaven forbid something in the software allows it to print the right vote but record the wrong vote. I’m with you: no paper trail = not a paper ballot.
