That is a far more complicated, and potentially troublesome, process than one which generates a real, live, legally valid paper ballot; it does nothing, for example, to mitigate the security risks that so many researchers have exposed in a number of e-voting systems. In addition, I suspect that no matter what type of voting system is involved, paper ballots are likely to carry far more legal weight in a court challenge &#8212; thus allowing a judge to rule on the matter as quickly and confidently as possible and to keep the process moving along.&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: More Than 30 Election Integrity Orgs.
