The case against touchscreen voting without a voter-verified paper trail has been
authoritatively made in the writings of Rebecca Mercuri, David Dill, Peter Neumann,
Doug Jones and others. The easiest jumping-off points for their work are via the Internet,
particularly www.notablesoftware.com (Mercuri’s website) www.verifiedvoting.org
(started by Dill, now a broader campaigning site) and www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones (Jones’s
site).
