Every electronic voting machine must include a physical backup which allows humans to check the accuracy of the totals given by the voting machine. Any electronic voting machine which has no independent way to check the accuracy of the vote count must be replaced with a machine that includes a way for humans to check the accuracy of the reported vote.
Why is this important?
The voting machines in my county, which were bought after the 2000 Presidential election, have no way to determine if the total votes recorded by the machine are accurate. The only way to "recount" votes is to download the totals from each voting machine again. Several candidates who suspected inaccuracies had no way to determine if the votes recorded by the machines were accurate.
