Warren Wants to Replace Every Single Voting Machine to Make Elections 'As Secure As Fort Knox'

17. It needs to be done with both methods.

I've worked on elections in Florida, Utah, Colorado and Minnesota. From hanging chads to hand-drawn circles to machine ballots with and without receipts. In my opinion, the correct way is a hand-drawn circled ballot that is machine counted and then randomly audited for accuracy. Re-counts (when needed) should be done by hand (not machine).

At the end of the night, the precinct totals are typically sent to the county office and then on to the state via electronic means (each state uses different means). The proper way to do this is to have the vote totals (for each precinct) sent in electronically followed up by a verifying phone call. This way the electronic totals can't be manipulated in transit.
