Reason: clarification

Voter ID is necessary but not sufficient. Voting systems need to either:

a) go back to analog paper ballots with mechanical or manual counting.

b) fully embrace free and open-source technology that is completely open for anyone to inspect and validate.

Personally I think a free and open-source system built for Linux is the best option (compared to a closed-source proprietary system built on Windows (e.g. Dominion)). Analog voting also works and both approaches could be combined.

A free and open-source system (both hardware and software) will be cheaper for districts, allow for validation and quick election results with minimal labor. Combine that by cryptographic verification of the distributable and never connecting those machines to the internet, we would have nearly complete and low-cost election integrity.
