Paper solves nothing?
I will leave the Vote by Mail discussion for another time because it's not really germaine to the point of this article, except to say that, while we think it works well in some circumstances, Vote by Mail does have inherent weaknesses (you expect the U.S. Postal Service to be a delivery service without problems?).
And remember, optical scanners are subject to malfunction and malfeasance, whether they're counting ballots marked a minute earlier or ballots that were sent in by mail. However, the good point is that there is indeed paper to check.
The real secret to election integrity is random surprise audits comparing paper ballot counts to machine counts.
