Go back to manual count, have people count the votes, and citizens check over their shoulders, as it should be. It's still the case in e.g. France (larger voting pop than any one US state).
There should be zero trust in an election. Citizens don't have to trust the party or any machine.

- Jaruzel 8y agoThe UK is the same. No-one here seems to be asking 'WHY' there's even a need for electronic voting machines? Paper and pencil manual voting will always be safer as it's almost impossible to game the system when there's 10,000+ unpaid volunteers double checking each others counting. Electronic Voting is a solution looking for a problem. It's only advocated by the losing parties, as they are convinced that making it 'easier' to vote (really? It's not like it's hard) will get more bums off seats and into polling stations, which will increase their chances of winning said election. NASA spent millions on a space pen, that never worked properly; The Soviet Union just used a pencil.

The reason you want a pen in space instead of a pencil is that graphite can chip off, and cause lethal danger to electronics and (consequently) crew.
- maxerickson 8y agoIt's just a silly urban legend anyway. Fisher developed the space pen independently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_in_space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_in_space Grease pencils and felt tipped markers were among the early alternatives.
