  > All electronic voting machines should output a paper human readable 'scantron' type ballot that is safely stored for verifying the internal digital tally. And then that ballot should be what is actually tabulated and the internal digital tally ignored, or not even kept. The machine should be a device to facilitate creation of accurate, easily tabulated paper ballots, period.

  If we ever are in doubt of the system and ask to verify it, those voting machines are essentially just really expensive pencils.

  >All electronic voting machines should output a paper human readable 'scantron' type ballot that is safely stored for verifying the internal digital tally. We should just have paper scantron style ballots that people fill out. Then have scantron counting machines to tally them up after all voting nationwide has closed. All the other issues people are trying to do to "fix" some aspect of voting are fundamentally flawed and those who are advocating for them are either desiring the ability to violate election integrity or don't understand the requirements of voting. Or trying to get money because someone in power sits in one of the two prior camps.

    "We should just have paper scantron style ballots that people fill out. Then have scantron counting machines to tally them up after all voting nationwide has closed." Vote counting machines are just as problematic as voting machines. We should just get rid of all of the machines and both vote and count by hand.
