This is why you do parallel paper/electronic voting. Fill it out electronically, it prints a receipt (maybe including a QR code), you mail the receipt (along with the 'classic' absentee voting stuff, i.e. double envelope, proof of eligibility to vote in the outer envelope.)
Oh and as a side effect it can be audited very nicely.
- ninalanyon 8mo agoIf you are doing paper voting why bother with voting machines at all? What's the benefit?
- eqvinox 8mo agoImmediate results without miscounts and at far lower cost. Given some confidence into the system, you'd only audit the paper ballots stochastically for a randomly chosen, say, 5% of election districts each time. [Whether that's worth it, I'll not make a statement on.]
- ninalanyon 8mo agoThe UK gets it done within 24 hours with very few miscounts and even fewer miscounts that matter. And is there good data on the relative costs?
- eqvinox 8mo agoSorry, I don't have further data on this. It's going to be a subjective judgement either way.
