Many fear?

Officials Wary of Electronic Voting Machines - New York Times:

Paperless touch-screen machines have been the biggest source of consternation, and with about 40 percent of registered voters nationally expected to cast their ballots on these machines in the midterm elections, many local officials fear that the lack of a paper trail will leave no way to verify votes in case of fraud or computer failure.

Let's get with it, NYT. Of freakin' course there's no way to verify. What's with the "many fear"?
