I think the appropriate way to handle a voting machine is to have a kiosk where people select their preferred candidate, it prints out a ballot on paper with security features, and the voter reviews the paper ballot and places it in a locked ballot box.
The kiosk can broadcast a preliminary vote count for rapid results but the paper ballots need to be counted to certify the election.
A counting machine shouldnt even have ink cartridges
