Do North Carolina voters prefer voter verified paper ballots?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

I have a question - now that we have a law requiring voter verified paper ballots,
do voters here want to keep that?

There are a few anti paper forces in NC still, and they keep angling for
a way to kill federal legislation that would make it the "Law of the land"
to have voter verified paper ballots.

Number one is George Gilbert, Director of Guilford County Elections.
Gilbert was called upon by the Republican party to testify AGAINST HR 811
