In Iowa we use paper ballots that are scanned into tabulators that count
the votes.  So there's a paper record.  My problem with electronic voting
and electronic voting machines is that there's no paper record.

Electronics can be hacked - so, for that matter can paper ballots be lost
or added - but it's harder.
