Original Note:
People advocating for "paper ballots" typically mean full non-electronic voting. Machine counting however is still dominant in US: https://ballotpedia.org/Voting_methods_and_equipment_by_state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_scan_voting_system Like any machine counting machines can be manipulated as well: https://news.sky.com/story/german-vote-counting-machines-are-hackable-researchers-warn-11024016 Paper ballots mean nothing if processed by manipulated counting machines.
