Show Me Ballot Integrity by Christopher Bollyn
Missouri could be the first state to introduce legislation that would require hand-counted paper ballots and the banning of all voting machines.

As other states dump millions of dollars into paperless and insecure electronic voting systems, the aptly named “show me” state is considering legislation that many believe will restore integrity to elections with hand-counted paper ballots.
