Another problem and controversy which would easily be solved by traceable paper ballots and voter ID

Did you read the article? The software being discussed is the state wide database of registered voters.

New Hampshire already requires paper ballots, and voter ID, but it is also necessary to know who the registered voters are.

But yeah election software should not be rocket science.

I wouldn't consider a large, secure, state wide database which has hundreds of users to be "rocket science" but there is quite a bit of work required to design and code a voter registration database system.

Any thoughts on how to determine the list of qualified voters?

Seems like a database of registered voters that lets you print out lists of registered voters for polling places would be helpful.

What if every pole has drop boxes or machines, one for Republican and one for Conservative. If they were locked containers, what could go wrong?

Did YOU read the article?

Its a discussion of the problems of the software "supply-chain," often foreign-coded, with unknown and unvetted vendors.

Its intro was a specific example of the NH voter registry database, but it moved into a discussion of voting systems in general (of course with required discussions about Russia) - and the potential lack of confidence and disquiet problems with software would cause with any election result.

My comment stands. Oddly, New Hampshire was able to conduct legitimate elections long before the advent of the internet. Why is that?
