Touchscreen voting machines that leave no paper record are the target of this film's argument: once a vote is cast electronically, there is no physical trail to check if the count is accurate. The film lays out how private companies write and own the software running these machines, and how election officials and the public are barred from inspecting the code that tallies their votes. Interviews and expert commentary build the case that this arrangement leaves elections open to errors, tampering, and unverifiable results, with vote counting effectively privatized and beyond independent audit. The film's central proposal is a paper receipt for every vote, a physical backup that would let results be checked against the machine's tally. It treats high-tech election fraud not as a hypothetical but as a present risk, and frames the paper trail as the minimum fix needed before voters can trust the count. The film ends on that unresolved gap between digital convenience and verifiable elections.
