No place to turn

Do you think the Republicans are as gung ho on paperless voting systems now that Senator Allen's (R-VA) concession gives control of the U.S. Senate to the Democrats? They more or less couldn't even do recount since many of the voting machines there do not have a paper trail. From the New York Times:

"A recount with these machines essentially involves an election official hitting the reprint button and then saying, 'Oh, the results are the same that we already printed - all fine here'. This tells us nothing about whether we have the correct tally. Garbage in, garbage out." -Avi Rubin, electronic-voting expert.

It will be interesting to see how many converts the Virginia race creates in the Republican party.
