It would probably help to stop calling them "voting machines". They generate a paper ballot - them counting the votes as they generate ballots is no more different than dumping punched ballots in counting machine. It would be more accurate to call them "voting kiosks".
Only 2% of counties don't use a paper ballot or receipt. Which should probably be illegal.
- chatmasta 2y agoI agree with your general point, but it’s even more nuanced than that. There are different kinds of machines: ballot marking machines, tabulating machines, printing machines, sorting and photographing machines… When people say “just use paper ballots,” it’s almost always an oversimplification.
