What is that crazy pull for ballot counting machines? Election is not happening every week, has to be supervised by humans anyway, this additional cost of having two more people here and there to count votes, sign the papers and put ballot results on the doors for transparency is negligible as compared to the problem that distrust in the election process is causing. USA knows this best, yet they dance around "better" and "more secure" voting machine solving problems that are already solved.
"Secure" voting machines is indeed interesting engineering problem, so I am not surprised this is being discussed on HN, but let's face it, we don't need to solve this engineering problem.
Progress is not always something good. X-Raying foot while purchasing shoes was also very cool in the '50, but it turned out this is not such a great thing.
