voting "machines" eliminate voting

It's not hard to count a million, or a hundred million, paper-votes quickly and correctly.

The task is trivial to split in any wanted number of smaller tasks.

You'll need about 3 hours to count 10.000 votes, count twice by two different people who don't
know the answers the other got and don't know who the other is, and let the result count as
the preliminary result if the numbers they give are off by less than say 1/1000.

But you don't even need to do that: Have voting-machines that record votes electronically AND
print a paper-ballot. Deposit the paper-ballot the traditional way.

Use the numbers from the machine for the preliminary results. Randomly check say 1% or 5% of
the ballots, by the trivially simple method of actually counting the slips of paper and
comparing them to the number the machine gave. If the numbers disagree, count everything, or
invalidate the entire election, probably okay here too to accept 1:10000 error or similar.

You don't need to count all the paper all the time. You DO need to be ABLE to check the
result. There's a difference.
