All of the people who I know who support paperless computerized voting answer some variation of "Hell no!" when I ask them if they'd use an ATM that doesn't give a receipt. Voters should have the same "receipt" that bank customers get, with the difference that the "receipt" would be deposited at the polling place to be available for audit (recount) to confirm the numbers generated by the machine.
