Paper ballots aren't scalable or transparent. Open source hardware and software can be audited by anyone and every one and can be formally verifiable.

- dragonwriter 8y ago> Paper ballots aren't scalable Paper ballot operational complexity scales linearly with the size of the electorate, which makes them adequately scalable for any practical use. (There's maybe an issue with using paper ballots for some esoteric election methods, because of how operational complexity scales with number of candidates for some type of tallying, but absent a decision that use of one of those methods is desirable that's immaterial.)
- jacques_chester 8y ago> Paper ballots aren't scalable or transparent. Australia holds elections this way and has done so for a century. Scaling has not been an issue. Neither has transparency.
