I’m all for paper backups/verification of voting systems, but perhaps it’s time to consider open-source election software w peer review and/or open-hardware in addition to “low-tech” election oversight?
Low-Tech elections are fraught with similar perils. Paper votes can be forged, discarded, modified and cloned as easy as pie. Not to mention impersonation of voters, theft of mail in ballots and registration of deceased voters. Then again, a single person cannot modify the results of an entire election. In addition the risk of being caught is greater because you are doing these things in person.
