All elections should be paper ballots - hand counted with periodic checks. I remember my dad going to count votes election nights in the 1960's . No machine can be trusted. If they insist on machines every so often at random times or a random number of votes - their should be a pulling of one hundred or counted ballots and the hand count vs the machine count should be done. If their is ANY variance that machine is shut of and all votes counted be counted by hand.
Election integrity is the only way society can hold together.
The debate here is whether or not machines should count the ballots. In most instances, the machine will do fine but when the election is close, a manual count is justified.
