		<description><![CDATA[Many of the issues we discuss here and debate in the Legislature revolve around tradeoffs between Convenience, Confidence, and Costs.

		<description><![CDATA[In this post, we address where Common Sense fails.  Where what seems obvious to individuals and election officials is often counter to the facts or science.

They alone provide the opportunity for determining the exact result in close elections and the opportunity to verify the correct result in all elections. They alone provide the opportunity for public transparency necessary for real trust and confidence. Voter Verified Paper Ballots alone provide the opportunity for voting integrity, a necessary prerequisite for democracy.]]></description>

They are much more reliable and useful than the paper records produced by some DRE (touch screen) voting machines.
