I would much prefer to standardize on paper ballots, and then we would not have to mess around with statistical analysis and audits of software code.

I think votes should be recorded in a way that any set of adults could easily check for themselves with minimal tools.

Apparently WI does use paper ballots, but they are not checked at all unless a recount is called. Which is ridiculous.
