Sorry, when I say backups, I mean paper voted created by the voter's own hand as the original vote, counted by machine, and held securely as a way to verify the vote if any of the candidates call the election into question.

There is no system in which electronically cast and electronically created backups are a good idea.

Fair enough, however the issue of the thread is electronic voting machines not electronic paper vote tabulation.

The story is about electronic paper vote tabulation.
