    There’s no reason for them to be digital at all. The UK has secure elections with hand-counting paper ballots.

      As skeptical as I am about all of this, the new owner does supposedly want to move to 100% paper ballot. Is this just something he says to buy favor though? Idk.

          I’m aware of the lies. I said as much in my comment. Still, they say they want paper ballots, and I support that move. It shouldn’t have been sold to this person, but if they actually do follow through and at least have paper copies of all ballots on their machines that would be a nice benefit, but doesn’t outweigh the negatives. However, that’ll probably be in a move to remove mail-in voting, or other things that enable minotirty groups to vote more easily.
