Electronic voting machines are meant to speed up the voting process (voting
and vote counting). Hard copy receipts are necessary to verify digital
information if the information were ever to become compromised or corrupted
in any way. The same principle applies to credit card statements, bank
records, birth certificates, et cetera.
