Do you remember 2000 and the Diebold controversy? We had an Diebold engineer testifying on record about the deficiencies of these systems. I know it’s been 20 years, but I do think we need to take the integrity of our elections more seriously (and I say that being VERY happy that Trump lost the election).

Well, I don't think anyone claims that electronic voting systems should be the source of truth for vote-count; it's mostly there for convenience and if there is any doubt at all about its integrity, the paper ballots can always (and often are) busted out to be counted by hand.

Paper ballots help, but it’s still not a properly secure system.
