Yes. Paper ballots in please.
Everyone thinks about counting. "We need fast counting, we need accurate counting" they say.
We also need to think about understanding and trust. Think of your neighbor, think of 'Florida man', do you expect them to understand a voting machine? Do you expect them to trust a voting machine?
