I thought it was nonsense when I first heard it, but the traditional paper system is actually more secure than a completely digital system. Here is a really good video explaining it: https://youtu.be/w3_0x6oaDmI

It’s not about it being more secure but about convenience of voting from your phone.

Look, going to the bank is more secure. So why do we have banking apps? What if all your money is stolen?

Seriously, I find the knee jerk downvotes every time someone questions “just use paper” to be pretty ridiculous.
