Votes could be counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers
This is why we absolutely do not need electronic voting (or electronic vote counting) in any way.<p>Paper voting (with polling locations distributed to balance load) with hand counting and verifiable addition operations to get the final vote counts is what is needed.<p>Having voted in person at town hall, and then having helped count the votes, I know that it is doable - just like any other laborious task is doable with enough people involved. Electronic voting just doesn&#x27;t buy you anything more than risk - all at the cost of verifiability.<p>The other advantage to hand counting with a neighbor nearby is that there is a strong penalty for manipulating the election - your neighbor will notice. These machines make it <i>way</i> too easy to manipulate elections at mass scale without detection.
