My state uses a system that I think is the best of most worlds. You check in at one table, they give you a "receipt" that you give to another table who trades that for a little card. The card isn't linked to you at all and it gives you access to a voting machine. You enter your choices into the machine, which prints out a paper ballot that you can review and verify before putting it into the box as you leave. So, your vote is recorded by the voting machine for quick tallying, but your vote is also recorded on paper that is human and machine readable for verifiable re-counts if needed.

It’s a great idea , though the counting machine becomes a threat vector .

Counting votes isn’t really that expensive . Certainly not compared to purchasing , maintaining and securing counting machine hardware

I get that we all get paid to digitize things , so paper seems antiquated , but for many applications it’s the best solution

Yeah, and this solution results in paper ballots. You get three different ways to count them.
