Comment I'm a brazilian and i work at elections. (Score 1) 101
Paper ballot is far from perfect. I think we are better this way. People will not hack a voting machine to win, just buy votes. It's easier.
Brazil is a very big country and counting votes was always problematic. Now we have a official result in the same day.
Elections for legislative branch was a problem too. People wrote the name or a nickname of a candidate, or just swear. A monkey (or another animal from a zoo, can't remember) was elected years ago as a prostest.
Buying votes is harder too. They just took people who cant read and gave a paper already marked.
