David's Stance Against Paperless Voting Technology HOT
excerpt from Paperless Voting to be Declared Unconstitutional by Tomtech :: DailyKos
Texas has a suffrage amendment in it's constitution. In all elections by the people, the vote shall be by ballot, and the Legislature shall provide for the numbering of tickets and make such other regulations as may be necessary to detect and punish fraud and preserve the purity of the ballot box; and the Legislature shall provide by law for the registration of all voters.

[update]David has a post concerning voting machines at his website from last November. Thanks to trykindness who talked to David and confirmed this.
