How do you get a paper trail and convenience at the same time? Either you're at a polling place (so convenience is the same) or you're at home and you need to transport your receipt to some kind of counting facility (just like voting a paper ballot by mail). >increase confidence in the process >increased visibility into whether your vote actually counts IMO this is exactly wrong. We've had a LONG time to figure out how to count paper ballots by hand in ways that are resilient to fraud. Each ballot (and its corresponding tally mark) is handled in view of observers representing the opposing candidates. If there is something fishy about the count, at least one of the people who observed the counting process has the information and incentives necessary to attract more scrutiny. >would certainly reduce voter suppression Only if people do it from home, in which case there is no paper trail. Unless you mail in the paper trail, in which case you may as well have mailed in your ballot.
