When I said "errors" I didn't only mean bugs. I mean failing to have a counted vote that's the same as what the voter intended.
The method I like most is paper ballots with optical scanners, which the general public can understand. Random audits for confirmation, yes, the general public can understand. Recounts, and hand recounts, yes, the general public can understand.
- jacques_chester 8y agoIt just doesn't take that long to count by hand. You wait an extra day or week or two to get the final count. So what? This has consequences for years, so take your damn time and count every single ballot. A machine cannot be watched in the same way a human can. No scrutineer can prove that a ballot was counted correctly without ... seeing it counted.
