Paper is history. Maybe okay for butt wiping but not used in voting much any more. I voted the first day of early voting which included a location that served different districts. A long line and moved slowly and not enough machines. jmo.

New Mexico is all paper ballot. But, they are tallied by Dominion voting machines. In my county, the clerk is a Pub and staff prevent tampering. In the Dem counties, the tallies may be manipulated by software even if they are not connected to the internet. The backup are paper ballots but like in Georgia in 2020, the machines don't determine between a Pub and Dem ballot. They just read what is fed into them. In summary, there are two ways of cheating - first fraudulent ballots and second hacked Dominion counting software.

Pubs have an army of lawyers ready to challenge cheating but Dems have an equal number to say "nothing to see here."

Are they hand counted or ran thru a machine for tallying?
