S.3212 would allow electronic “verification” of votes cast on electronic voting machines. If S.3212 becomes law, elections in many states would still depend on the trustworthiness of computer software. This bill also fails to require hand audits of federal election results, and contains other measures that could set back years of progress toward transparent and trustworthy elections. -The Team at Verified Voting
Any verification of an electronic voting machine must be done in non-electronic way. A paper trail, with independent third-party verification is the only sure way to avoid corruption.
As a software engineer, my experience tells me that software which counts or controls access to a database can always be hacked or controlled for one’s own purpose. Software verification of other software can also be hacked.
Manually verifiable paper trail is the way to go!
