The ones I saw seemed fine? You fill out a paper ballot, and you submit it to the worker at the end who scans it and drops the ballot in the box in one motion.

You have a paper trail, it anonymous, and it's pretty easy to understand.
I guess if you modified the firmware on the scanner to disclose the vote counters continuously, and the worker at the end knew me by sight (the worker I showed my I'd to is on the other end of the room) you could find my vote. But you could also hide a camera in the booth, which is easier.

- Kinrany 3y agoIs it? Cameras can be really small.
- pyrale 3y agoYou can see it this way: if you can time people voting, you can hide the camera anywhere in the voting room. Checking the booth is always going to be easier than checking the room. There is also the issue of voters selling their vote. It's pretty easy for them to wear a tracker that tells you when they were in the booth. On the other hand, with paper ballots, the buyer has no way to check the vote, since market ballots are null.
