Maryland Resolution on Electronic Voting
"Computerized voting equipment is inherently subject to programming
error, equipment malfunction, and malicious tampering. It is therefore
crucial that voting equipment provide a voter-verifiable paper audit
trail, by which we mean a permanent paper record of each vote that
can be checked for accuracy by the voter before the vote is submitted,
and is difficult or impossible to alter after it has been checked.
The electronic voting machines being purchased by Maryland do not
satisfy this requirement. Voting machines should not be purchased
or used unless they provide a voter-verifiable paper audit trail;
when such machines are already in use, they should be replaced or
modified to provide a voter-verifiable paper audit trail. Providing
a voter-verifiable paper audit trail should be one of the essential
requirements for certification of new voting systems."
