Paper ballots with optical scan machines are popular in states that care about these issues. Compared to your suggestion there are fewer machines, easier recounts and audits, and it's very easy for the public to understand.
- reaperducer 8y agoPaper ballots with optical scan machines are the reason we have electronic voting now. It was paper ballots and optical scan machines that led to the whole "hanging chad" situation. And filling in a bubble with a pen or pencil isn't going to help. Anyone who read BBS G-philes in the 80's knows how to defeat a Scan-Tron.
