I'm not sure how a paper trail would work. With punch cards we used to get the stubs but I don't ever remember them being mentioned in re-counts. Actually, it seems there would have to be a paper receipt for the precincts and then copy for the voter. Would the voter have to verify the accuracy of his copy at that moment? Would he have to deposit the precinct copy himself? I could see challenges that would take a pretty long time to sort out a winner, if indeed there was a possibility that the result would be accepted as true. I can just hear the losers saying, "but I was in a hurry and couldn't take time to verify" or "it's all so new, how can we be expected to know how to verify" or "the printing was so small and I didn't have my glasses with me, so I just trusted that it was right...."
