Is 100% accurate all of the time , and is not 'affected by a heatwave' , low-tech is really the way to go .

I am at a loss to understand why anyone would even consider optical scanners , touch-screen machines or punch card ballots . Every one of these methods has been shown to be unreliable , so why throw good money after bad ? Scrap them all and revert back to pen and paper . The money saved could be spent ensuring that all the electoral rolls are kept up to date , so no-one should ever be disenfranchised because they have changed their address .
