Paper ballots increase confidence of voters
Two bills in the General Assembly, Senate Bill 223 and House Bill 238, would require that electronic voting machines used in North Carolina provide a voter-verified paper ballot and other important reforms. A voter-verified paper ballot would provide a backup that would allow recount in the case of mistakes or malfunctions. It would make fraud more difficult and help to ensure that our votes are counted as cast.
The two bills are currently in the committee process. They need to come before the full House and Senate and be passed as written. I urge everyone to support the Confidence in Elections bills.
