Voting machines must free of any proprietary software or firmware, all must be in public domain. As a result all machines can be directly manually audited including software/ firmware without court and mfgr involvement further no one can be accused of manufacturer defamation of character when commenting upon a machine's integrity.
Yes. My recommendation is that the only voting machines we use are those that scan and tabulate. That substantially reduces the possibility of electronic manipulation.
Completely agree on the best accuracy with "moderate electronics," including coded paper ballots counted by machines not connected to the internet. Pennsylvania's Delaware County (where I was a GOP poll watcher in 2020) has such a system. But the real problems with vote integrity start with the integrity of voter rolls, which PA and other states poorly manage. It opens the door to fraudulent absentee and mail voting, a perpetual problem in more Democratic precincts in Philadelphia and elsewhere: excellent post, and thanks for your good work on this important topic.
Kelly: TY for your feedback. Indeed fixing the machine part does NOT assure that there is election integrity. As stated on my Election Integrity website <https://election-integrity.info>: "The major components of the election procedure are: 1) voter, 2) machine, and 3) process (e.g., ballot handling). Election Integrity means that ALL the major aspects of the election procedure are done accurately, honestly, and transparently, in a timely fashion."

Full Scope of Dominion ICX Hack in Federal Court is FAR Worse than Just the BIC Pen Hack

Mark: Note tht my recommendation (above) is NOT to use machines like Dominion.
I think mark-sense paper ballots provide efficiency & auditability .
I like the notion in ` lesser countries of dipping a thumb in indelible ink as proof of voting and prevention of multiple voting .
AG Ken Paxton reveals exactly how Dems stole 2020 election, and it’s so much simpler than you realize…

Without any ifs and buts, the voting machines should be destroyed if the United States can still call herself a constitutional republic.
But it’s impossible for the states to do it as far as I can see. The nation died in 2020.
