Who needs a paper trail?

Yes, this sounds like Mikulski's fault, but it does show another problem with "foolproof" e-voting:

[Sen. Barbara] Mikulski learned Sunday the machines are not flawless. According to Michael Morrill, spokesman for the Baltimore Democrat's re-election campaign, Mikulski was at a folk festival when she came across a booth demonstrating the AccuVote TS touchscreen machines.

As she tried out the machines, the senator inadvertently brushed against the sensitive screens, causing the machine to display her vote as a "yes," when she wanted to vote "no," Morrill said.

Morrill, who witnessed the incident, said the foul-up was most likely caused by Mikulski and not the machine. Still, "it showed that, yes, there are potential problems with electronic voting machines," he said.
