In Italy, Lombardy spent 24 millions for thousands of Smartmatic voting machines, used them once, but some ended up in the grey market and we bought them. What's inside?
OP conclusions (in my bias) feel like "an attempt" ahead of elections next month. My bigger concern is our own US military doing some really illegal things around social election manipulation and misinformation.
I don't understand. Is this a paper-ballot voting system only? Because the idea of this vote was to prevent paper usage and move to digital. The system you mentioned system mainly focuses on counting (and marking?) paper ballots?
It's an open hardware system, so we can have transparency and trust in the system. It's meant to counteract the elections are not safe propaganda, among other things.
Fully digital systems are a bad idea because it makes it too easy for people to sow doubt. We don't need to open ourselves to that as a society.
