B -- That is funny as hell.

A -- The myriad ways for this to go wrong are *uncountable* (rimshot). Why the obdurate resistance to a PAPER TRAIL is ... beyond my comprehension. We trust ATMs to conduct a transaction (with a small number of errors per many transactions), but the receipt at the end is our (depositor/voter) assurance that the machine did what we want. Why can't I get a receipt of my voting record? Hmm?
