Even if we somehow verify that reliable machines exist, how do we verify that the machines haven't been tampered with? So far we've seen all sorts of problems with the machines in practice, usually in favor of the party in power.
What's our incentive to switch to machines? Speed isn't a concern here.
- greglindahl 8y agoHere's one audit scheme to verify that the counting machines are reliable: https://www.verifiedvoting.org/resources/post-election-audits/ https://www.verifiedvoting.org/resources/post-election-audit... One good way to implement this is with paper ballots and optical scan machines. You get speed/less labor with accuracy. But you still need to study that the paper ballots are reliably usable by all types of voters, in addition to verifying that the machines count accurately.
