(no title)

Premise: there's people that will try to game and cheat on anything that's important, including democratic elections. No matter your voting method, those people will exist.

Solution: the basic unit (paper ballot in this case) can be understood by any adult with basic education, which means anyone can detect cheating, not just a technical wizard. The only skill you need is reading.

Give me a solution that follows the same principle and I'd consider it.

Nobody cares about results coming faster except journalists that have to fill 2-3 TV hours with nonsense until there's some numbers.

No engineer that's worth of the title would advocate for electronic voting -- unless they're in the business of selling electronic voting. See the Premise.

Im not sure all paper ballets means delayed election results. Sure, it used to take days or weeks 100 years ago, but the only factor now is the counting.
