Why do electronic machines exist? The charitable interpretation is that they were chosen in the aftermath of the disastrous 2000 election because they remove ambiguity and error. The less charitable interpretation is that they’re used because they’re easier to screw with.
Who verifies them? Mostly the companies who make them.
I've voted in person consistently, and never seen anything else. Different jurisdictions in the US make different choices.
Unfortunately, I think politicians know that most people don't have the time or resources to fact check and claims don't need to be supported by much evidence to be believed.
It's different on a per state/municipality basis. Some are paper, some are EVM. We're trending towards EVM despite warnings from computer security researchers.

Now that roles have reversed, so have their claims.
Coming to the point, isn't US using paperballots? All the papers in my nation say US holds elections via paperballots and not EVMs.
And why the heck do EVMs exist? Who verifies if they are fine or not? We know very well abouhow elections are rigged in third world dictatorships.
There needs to be a standard.
