More on HB1296

Al, et al,   :)
       Re HB1296, I feel uncomfortable abandoning the counties that now have  DRE's, which were, at last count, Arapahoe, Denver and El Paso, with a total of 1,150 precincts.  Are there, or will there be in the near future, no systems that would produce a verifiable receipt from a DRE that gave a completely legible record  of how someone voted, on paper that made counting relatively easy? 
       Isn't one of the major problems with any system that counts votes electronically how to determine whether there might be "errors" in the machine counts so we can do a paper recount?  Paul and Scott have suggested some statistically-valid sampling of paper, which if it revealed discrepancies, would trigger a full paper recount.  Shouldn't we encourage Alice Madden to incorporate this step?
