The solution is simple - these systems should ONLY be used as a GUI interface to print a ballot - nothing more. No electronic storage of data, no transmissions, no viruses, no software updates, and no more talk of worthless receipts. This solves the original problem of hanging chads and confusing ballots. Quit worrying about e-security and simply print the ballot with what the voter entered with the GUI. It can be printed in big bold type with the candidate's smiling face if need be. You can even add a sightless option that will add braille to the ballot. And all you Secretaries of State - refuse to do business with any manufacturer that says voting algorithms are propietary. It's really quite simple - voter selects Candidate A on the GUI, printer prints Candidate A on the Ballot. Voter verifies ballot and drops into locked box. Incorporate the optical reader into the box if you want. If there's any dispute, just count the dang ballots. Anyone caught tampering with the paper ballots is jailed for life as an enemy of the state. Let's get off our high-technology horses and get back to some basics.
