Kentucky's paperless voting machines aren't accountable

We, the undersigned, are petitioning Kentucky to either stop using electronic voting machines or immediately adapt them to a process that generates a paper record of each vote. By not having a paper record of votes cast, in a case of recount or trouble with the machines, the vote may become subject to question. Creating paper trails assures honest elections, above all.

Why is this important?

The State of Kentucky needs to either stop using electronic voting machines or immediately adapt them to a process that generates a paper record of each vote when the vote is cast. There may not be a problem with the machines at this time, but if a problem does occur, there needs to be a more accountable method for verifying which ballots were cast. By not having a paper record of votes cast, in a case of recount or trouble with the machines, the vote may become subject to question.
