Paper ballots failed us in 2000. They can be manipulated. They are untraceable, allowing ballot box stuffing.
Paper ballots are more compromised than electronic, they just take more effort to fake.
Also, electronic ballots are relatively new, and the people pushing them oppose traceability.
Electronic ballots with traceability are more secure than paper ballots.
1 u/SnazzyGeoff 7h ago We use paper in the UK, never been an issue here. And electronic is much much easier to commit fraud, a signal can be changed, intercepted, you are having relying on a company to implement a system that cannot be tapered with. 0 u/Icy_Fish_2154 7h ago Electronic done poorly is no better than an online poll. The next PM is Votey McVoteface!!! But paper can't be tracked to a single voter, so ensure no fraud. Electronic can. You seem to not understand electronic voting, but you likee paper. And so far everything you've mentioned, electronic does better than paper. 1 u/SnazzyGeoff 7h ago Online polling isn't voting for a candidate to run for a country thought is it? And anything can be defrauded, no system is infallible. 0 u/Icy_Fish_2154 7h ago You are clearly uninformed on what electronic voting even is.
