"vote on paper with hand counting" how is the sum communicated and stored?
- RandomLensman 4y agoBy phone and on paper, for example. Depending on which country you are in, these systems are very robust and difficult to tamper, as granular results are published and counting is decentralized. And here's the kicker: where I live, people can get pretty randomly drafted into counting and support duty for election day, i.e., not easy to insert enough malicious actors into those emptying the boxes, counting the ballots etc.
