      Infosec is a pox. Nowhere is this more clear than 'election security'. Whether election machines can be hacked is NOT the most important concern. The reason we went to electronic machines in the first place is the ambiguity of human marked paper ballots in the Bush/Gore election.https://twitter.com/ericgeller/status/1164239438114893824 …

      Pate didn't directly answer when I asked if a federal paper ballot mandate would increase or decrease nationwide election security. He said local officials shld "educate themselves about the advantages & threats that come with their style of voting equipment" and act accordingly.

      With purely paper ballots, there are no unambiguous rules on how to count them. Instead, after the election, partisans fight for whichever rules favor them, such as in the ballot below:pic.twitter.com/eAxuFocTCP

      So print the ballots from a machine. No big deal. Mandating paper does not mean mandating manual marking and voting.

          How do you know the machine printed what you wanted, or what it stored internally? Rob's off base here. Machine printed ballots create too high of a risk / cost not to use hand-marked ballots. Hand-marked paper ballots are still the way to go.

          Because it's the verified paper ballot that gets counted, not what's inside the machine.
