You can't hack the paper, but you can hack the machine, no matter how secure it is...


Well, it's also much harder to crack down on voter fraud like voting on behalf of dead people. I would say paper voting has a larger attack surface for the average voter.


Those things are overwhelmingly less common than you are pretending, make very little difference, are substantially easier to prevent than attacks on electronic voting, and are trivial to detect.


Anyone that’s familiar with the history of American machine politics knows that you certainly can hack the paper.
