Fortunately that's not what I am arguing. I am pushing for VVPATs instead. :)

- cassianoleal 9y agoI don't really see how that's superior to anything. It adds complexity to a system that's already hard to understand to large slices of the voters, and provides nearly no actual advantage to either the old paper ballot or the new electronic system. A potentially better approach would be to have the systems themselves publicly auditable and somehow have the live ballot devices verifiable.
- dfaranha 9y agoVVPATs do not add complexity, they cheaply allow a layman to verify if a proper record of his/her vote was produced. I can't parse your last sentence, sorry. PS: Yes, I would prefer to redesign the whole thing from scratch and tightly integrate physical and electronic records, as in an optical scanner, but this is very unlikely to happen anytime soon.
