My area was paper ballots that get scanned in, so we have a paper trail.

If I was the My Pillow guy's lawyer I would be jumping for joy about now.

Is it so difficult to make an app that just records a simple input? What was the problem with paper ballots again?

Paper ballots are literally the technologically most advanced solution humanity has right now that meets all requirements of a democratic voting protocol.

It's easy to make a voting app that works in a non-adversarial environment; the real world is not of this type.

“I don’t think I’ve used a paper ballot since Nixon!” said another voter who hustled to her car after voting at the firehouse.

"I fought in a WAR!" [obscure trope reference]

Nixon? I'm sure there is some variation but electronic voting didn't seem widespread until the early 2000's from my recollection.
