Darpa wants help cracking the election security problem

Of course pieces of paper can be forged... one at a time. To do so in volume requires a somewhat large operation.

I mean, sure, anyone with a laser printer can print 10,000 pieces of paper. 10,000 ballots, though... you'd have to get the right paper, the exact size, the exact font and layout. Then you'd have to move your printed ballots into the ballot stream, upstream of where they're counted. That could be done, but as I said, it's a somewhat large operation.

Compare that with changing a SIM card, where you can change multiple votes at once.

If all it takes to defeat your electronic voting system is changing a SIM card then you haven't designed a very good electronic voting system. There are cryptographic voting schemes that are much harder to defeat than that, and i've already linked them in this thread.
