This is one of those non-sexy but important issues that hardly gets talked about. We forget that this country was built on a “trust but verify” system. It’s how we’re supposed to do democracy, and it should be how we vote. I don’t understand how states can implement voting systems that don’t have actual ballots and an audit at the end.
