Paper Ballots, Paper Trail, e-vote Questions

Greetings from the Election Reform/2004 Forum

On this thread, we've been working on figuring out:

Which States Have Existing Law or Pending Bills for VVP Ballots or Trails
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x348377


Your state is listed as having four bills, regarding the use of paper, waiting for the Gov's signiture.


Does anyone know if they've been signed, as yet?

Do you folks have DRE's (Direct Recording Electronic), the nasty e-vote stuff? If so do they, at least provide a paper trail?

This article, by DUer GaryBeck, will help explain the important differences.
