Well, paper ballots aren't secure either. A person can mark a paper ballot and place it in the box sitting on the table. Unbeknowenst to the voter, there are little dwarfs under the table with their own boxes. They simply move the boxes around to catch the votes and then use a sophisticated, chemical erasure system to erase the 'X's on the ballot and replace them with their own marks.

At the end of the day the dwarfs then activate their cloaking device and move the modified ballots to the original box. At that point they are then transported to the local county election headquarters to make sure their plan is successful.

I swear, I saw this with my own eyes.

Oh, bullsh*t!! There is NO WAY you could have seen anyone doing that. The special invisibility cream we use is fool proof and......oh shit...

Nobody’s claiming paper would be perfect, but
with video security almost as good as in a
typical convenience store, the chain of
custody could be observed throughout.

That’s simply not possible with the electronics
at all. They make it far easier to tamper with
the ballots and far more likely to get away with it.

Computer scientists have shown that despite the
known problems with paper ballots, they’re still
more reliable, more securable, and more difficult
to subvert secretly.
