Reply #15: I need to clarify something:

[Bill Bored]

When I said, "What this bill does is to establish the requirement for the VVPB with NO requirement to actually use it to verify the vote", I meant that it doesn't require any auditing or recounts. But the bill still provides that:

"`(iii) Once a voter verifies that the vote shown on a paper record provided under clause (i) is the vote the voter intends to cast (whether verified as originally entered or as changed and corrected as described in clause (ii)), the vote shall be final and the record shall serve as a permanent paper record of the vote.'."

I hope this means what it says and I didn't mean to cause any confusion in my original statement.
