You could be right that some form of paper ballot is superior to the
potential troubles of electronic devices, but even paper ballots are
now read and tabulated by electronic devices, so the potential for
paranoia or actual fraud is not eliminated.

I am only familiar with what happened in the past ... a recount of votes
always meant bringing a lot of temp help to hand count the votes.
Obviously, a recount done by computers is no better than the fraud
available by electronic voting machines ... as always, if the people
don't demand protections and make sure they are protected from
criminals, the criminals will be there ...
