This feels safe, and as they have the original paper, they can revote - but they have all the ones in the district in a box somehow.
It is not without reason that most common fraud here in Sweden (around 80%) is someone calling under false pretense asking a victim to use the hardware token in order for the fraudsters to create a new electronic id which is then used to empty the bank account, create credit accounts, and so on. So far those security tokens has had a perfect track record from a hardware perspective, as much good that does. Maybe that is a bomb waiting to explode but it is hard to see a stronger incentives for criminals than what already exist.
When people here discuss electronic voting, security of the hardware tokens is not usually brought up. It is rather all the other elements which makes it a bad choice. There would be no physical ballots that can be verified, questionable anonymity, and a loss of a controlled voting environment. All the common solutions to those problems usually results in the conclusion that it then easier to just keep the current system as is.

are not immune to attack either. Unless you go to the extraordinary lengths of making your own hardware in a facility you secure and keep secured for the duration of your democracy, there is no such thing as a 'secure device'. Not when the prize is something so hugely lucrative and advantageous as control over an entire country.
All assuming you trust your government. With opposition parties monitoring vote counts, that's easy. But what about when they have to look for dopant-level chip defects?
