computer voting can be simple (Score 1)

Why does computer voting have to be so complex with encryption and miles of source code? How about using computers to just tally and sort the votes instead of paper ballots? The security? The person checking your name as you come in. Make your choices, and a paper "receipt" comes out. You verify that's who you voted for and then that receipt goes into a secure bin as backup while a computer adds up the votes and keeps track of things. In the evening it spits out the totals. Any problems or questions go to the paper receipt bin. Use the computer to count, that is what they are good at. How do you verify what you chose actually gets counted compared to what you see on your receipt? Simple source code for those that want to see, it is a counting machine, nothing complicated. Or instead a simple machine that is hard wired on chips, no need for complex operating systems. Also implement, random, non-counting votes. Compare the paper to what is being sent. Electronic voting screens can be typed up and created by the board of elections and put on each machine. Flip a switch and you have the Democratic or Republican ballots. Send a couple copies of the electronic ballot in paper form to each location, Then if the electricity fails, write in who you want to vote for on your ballot based on the paper ballots. KISS.
