Yeah, well we aren’t talking about Brazil. My state is all paper. There are multiple audits and there are public observers at every stage. The shit would hit the fan if it was even one ballot off. It’s a super transparent and auditable system.
Comment on In the age of electronics, when is go to vote can I request a paper ballot instead of a machine?
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 19 hours agoThis is not true at all, it’s much easier to falsify paper votes than it is to falsify any good electronic voting system. This is a fake news perpetuated by people who are finding difficult to falsify electronic voting systems and want to, for example in Brazil the last election held with paper ballots was in 1994, and it has been demonstrated that those results were frauds, one of the elected candidates in that election has been one of the most vocal opposers to electronic voting.

Yes it is easier to attack papier voting systems. But these attacks don’t scale. This video by Tom Scott is 6 years old now, but every argument still stands. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LkH2r-sNjQs
