1) Florida did not switch to e-voting machines. They switched to what most people mean by HMPB - hand marked bubble fill, scanned optically and retained for audits.
Most importantly:
2) There is no problem with hand marked paper ballots optically scanned. And those aren't considered e-voting machines where votes are recorded electronically.
The whole point of whether hand marked paper is a problem depends on how they are marked (eg NOT punched) and to not acknowledge that is disingenuous.
I'm glad we are on the same page with improving efficiencies. Lack of polling places => long lines on election day is particularly egregious.
