BBV - Why not just create a better paper ballot machine? [View All]

[shance]

It seems to me that the electronic voting issue has distracted from other options.

Seems to me the issue is an electronic one, is it not?

Computers are hackable. Ballots and elections overall, are areas where hacking could be a high priority for individuals who want to win no matter what.

Now that this issue is hitting the forefront and that the electronic machines have fallen under such scrutiny and doubt, it seems that another alternative is to create a better paper ballot machine that would further ensure voter confidence as well as efficiency.

This would provide an option for states that do not desire electronic voting and prefer the more legitimate means of maintaining fairer voting standards.

In the long run, the issue seems more about taking the technology out of voting tabulation and returning to manual counting and having a tangible ballot that can be tabulated and accurately recorded. This is also the means by which the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution are upheld.

There is no perfect solution, but it seems there are better solutions than the ones presently being promoted by most of the voting companies.
