> You should always use paper ballots and people from different parties should be on the table. It is easy to tamper paper ballots the way the US uses them, i.e. by having to manually tick the candidate box. I think that, for some elections, using different ballots for each party and/or candidate, should be the way. This is done in many other countries and it works consistently better. You also want an electronic trail, just because there are certain places where you cannot trust that the manual count would be accurate. I think most people do not trust voting machines because they do not understand the security preconditions they have to comply with. In many ways, they are way more reliable than paper and manual counting.
