Personally I agree. However, I think a weakness in the arguments is that many of the tabulation machines we have are very old, poorly designed for vote integrity (eg no paper ballots or confusing scan sheet design), and closed source which can lead to accusations of both hardware/software flipping votes and the systems being impossible to audit. To counter these concerns you can use paper ballots everywhere, open source software for the machines, and risk limiting audits to verify the count. Voting Works builds software for both sides of these voting processes as OSS with machine scanned paper ballots. https://www.voting.works/audits https://www.voting.works/audits https://www.voting.works/machines https://www.voting.works/machines
