    Yeah, I think it’s the best detailed, but beginner-friendly, overview of why electronic voting is a bad idea. Heck, I’m Australian too, and we treat pens as too high-tech for our elections because they could be switched for ones with disappearing ink.

    IMO analogue is just better for elections. Whether mail-in or not, there’s a physical object with your vote attached, not just a few bytes in a computer. It is far, far harder for a bad actor to control an election when they have to contend with faking thousands of bits of paper.
