Unfortunately there are currently ten states using voting machines without a voter verifiable paper trail (VVPT/VVPAT) in at least some jurisdictions. These numbers are dwindling over time as machines without VVPT are no longer being purchased on a meaningful scale, but most states can afford to replace their equipment only very infrequently. Over the next decade or so most of the non-VVPT machines should hopefully go out of service, this is a policy requirement in some of these states.

Here's your best source on the issue, it's kept up to date year to year. You can drill down to the county level as well. https://verifiedvoting.org/verifier/#mode/navigate/map/ppEqu...

Note that the map colors DRE w/ voter verifiable paper audit trail as (lightish) red. That's consistent with the prevailing opinion today that DRE w/ VVPAT is inferior to paper ballots with precinct tabulation (because voters do not necessarily actually examine the VVPAT), but does tend to make the current situation look worse than it is due to Nevada.
