Scantron type machines of paper ballots are super accurate.

It's why high stakes testing has used them since they were invented by Iowa professor who founded the ACT test and worked on the Iowa Test of Basic skills.

The upload process would be the vulnerable part from my perspective.

Germany is roughly 20-25 percent the population of the US...and roughly 4 percent the land mass. The scale of both makes a huge difference. The disparities in population density in the US are unlike any country in Europe as they don't have anything that compares to the densities of NY, Chicago etc and the wide open area of rural America all participating in the same election.

Scantrons sheets are fine. We should randomly back check 3-5% like high stakes testing SAT, ACT, AP, etc.

No one should be completely paperless with no hard copy backup.

Yes Russia is like 1/3 the population of the US in Europe but they don't really get to vote.
