We discuss the limitation of paper audit trails, alternative technologies (to paper) that can be used for audit trails, and suggest that we should focus the national discussion not on whether or not we should have paper trails, but rather on how to implement universally verifiable (or end-to-end verifiable) voting systems.

The report is at our website: http://www.itif.org/files/evoting.pdf

I have another topic I’d like to get your input on. Slate notes that the California ballot initiative to change allocation of electoral votes is unconstitutional because the Constitution specifically gives that power to the state legislatures, not to the people. Article II, Section 1, the Constitution declares that electors shall be appointed by states “in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.”

What do you think? What if the initiative turned into a state constitutional amendment to require the legislature to vote accordingly. Would that be constitutional?
