iVotronic is paperless. This was used in SC.
The constitution states:
ARTICLE II.

RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE

SECTION 1. Elections to be by secret ballot; protection of right of suffrage.

All elections by the people shall be by secret ballot, but the ballots shall not be counted in secret. The right of suffrage, as regulated in this Constitution, shall be protected by laws regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influence from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.

Based on the SC Elections committee web site, the votes are stored in 3 memory locations "inside the machine"
http://www.scvotes.org/voter_frequently_asked_questions/after_i_cast_my_ballot_where_do_my_votes_go
After I cast my ballot, where do my votes go?

Election results are stored in three independent memory locations within the voting machine. Additionally there is a removable storage card locked inside the voting unit that records internal audit information.

So the votes are counted in Secret, no paper, the voting machine is the only place this gets stored. So by your own admission, the SC votes are done in secret, un-auditable and generally...Secret.

Read all about the real story of the problems on Brad Blog (BradBlog.com). The recount in New Hampshire is turning up shocking evidence of problems or tampering and nobody in the mainstream media seems to be paying attention at all. What's up with this? Don't we want our elections to be counted cleanly and fairly? Doesn't this stuff have to be beyond even the "appearance of impropriety"? C'mon people. This is bad.

Did you miss the really big news that came out about South Carolina last week? South Carolina Elections Are UNCONSTITUTIONAL!?!

Somehow, the corporate media overlooked this major story. It was mentioned on the Voice of the Voters radio show, the Vote Rescue Radio show, the Rule of Law Radio show, and the Ron Paul Revolution radio show.

This news could have helped SC avoid the problems that the Republican voters experienced on January 19, 2008, if a Presidential candidate had taken action to enforce the fundamental right to know that our votes are counted.

Briefly:

Article II, § 1 of the Constitution of South Carolina states, “the ballots shall not be counted in secret.” Computers count inside their case, with no oversight, just like they are told to do, unless of course, they malfunction or are hacked. Computers count votes in secret. No one can see a computer count, and therefore, using computers to count votes in secret violates South Carolina’s Constitution!

This is the election integrity jackpot, a Constitutional provision prohibiting counting votes in secret! No more need to refer to case law, evidence, or logic to argue against secret vote counting, at least in South Carolina.

Senator Edwards, you have courageously spoken out against touch screen voting. Will you take action to require South Carolina to follow the law? How about another Presidential candidate?

Please help us make sure that the votes are counted accurately. GO TO http://www.votecount2008.org/ and JOIN NOW!
