It's WAY easier to forge paper votes than electronic votes. Why do the conspiracy theorists seem to be so caught up on electronic voting? It's like they seek out stupidity.
Want to commit voter fraud?
Paper: Print fake ballots in your basement, find someone at the polling place to swap them with real ballots.
Electronic: Find out what company made the machines. Somehow figure out what operating system and language the program was written in. Go out and find a really good programmer who can hack into the system. Do some shit from an epic spy movie and break into the place with the machines while no one is around. And hack the machine so it changes votes or something. Sneak back out so no one ever knew you were there, and so the machines don't look tampered with.
Seriously, there are hundreds of ways to commit voter fraud with electronic machines - but they're sooooooooo god damn beyond complex it's not even funny. Where as with paper, it's so fucking simple you could do it in your basement. Why why WHY are conspiracy theorists so stupid arrrggggggg it's mind boggling.
