Why not just go back to paper ballots?

Yep, there’s no other possible way to change paper ballots.....Maybe we should make everyone use a #2 pencil while we are at it.

They cant be hacked after all. The inefficiency makes it more secure.

Tech is not always the answer, sometimes its the problem.
Or old fashioned voting machines. I tussled with them many times as a voting precinct chairman (I mean after voting was over and they had to be read)..

In tx we have electronic only...no paper ,and we all think for sure our vote goes inside the machine and gets altered and it may or may not come out the other end looking like who we voted for at all. Well, maybe not all of us think that.... a lot of us do

That's what the 2 hours of silence from the Hillary camp on election night 2016 was for. She was expecting people in Florida and Michigan to be frantically filling out ballots after the polls closed until they put her over the top.
 
Florida requires paper ballots and they are counted by machine. Of course, if you are in Palm Beach County and have been Supervisor of Elections for over a decade and the machine breaks down because you never made an effort to upgrade the machine, you blame everyone else.

I currently vote on a paper scantron ballot.

Before I moved out to the area where I live now I voted in I think 2 elections with electronic machines.

Prior to that I voted on punch card ballots.

This is the first thing you've ever posted that makes sense.


Germany, a Country of 80 million, Norway, Netherlands, France, and numerous other Countries already protect the integrity and trust of their elections with secure, publicly observable hand-counting of paper ballots. Louisiana has a population of 4.5 million. The suggestion that such a system cannot be effectively implemented in Louisiana defies both precedent and logic. This isn’t an issue of ability in our State, but one of will: will to save precious taxpayer resources while shoring up our election vulnerabilities.

Somebody doesn’t remember hanging chads.

Nothing is perfect, electronic ballots are much faster and more accurate, and we have a significant amount of the population who think unless the results are reported immediately it’s evidence of shenanigans.
