All voting should be by paper ballet that that is scanned so the ballets can be hand counted when needed.
It’s a lot harder to alter/forge/discard hundreds of thousands of paper ballots than digital ballots, and thus requires a lot more people.
More people involved means more people who could speak out or slip up and reveal the plot.
This is why paper ballots will always be more secure, not matter how good encryption is, how hardened and secure the machines are or how many safe guards are put in place in software.
It's always been wild to me that America has voting machines. Here in Australia only paper ballots are legal, and everything is hand counted, even if it takes days. Our ballots are a lot more complicated with preferential voting too, so with FPTP it should be easy to hand count!
How many dozens—maybe hundreds—of times has this happened throughout the country?
I'm afraid I have neither the time nor resources to come up with a monthslong investigative piece to answer that question.
Can't wait for some random .ml to suddenly start defending the integrity of American elections.
No surprise there.
