this new paperless ballot sucks big time
I couldn't agree more.
In Victor, NY, the scanners went down so authorities took the voters' filled out ballots, placed them in a box and told the voters they'd all be scanned once the machines came back on line.
Nope, no chance of fraud there.

There needs to be an audit trail, confirmed by third party audit, punishable by felonies (jail time), so that voters can confirm electronically (through secure web pipeline) that their vote ID was counted.
