37. Improve the Old Lever Machines!
The only problem I've heard about with lever machines is that they sometimes get stuck at "999" because the mechanism is hard to turnover.
But there are other mechanisms that wouldn't have this problem.

Consider the old analog electric meters that just go round and round with no digital incrementation. Each increment of 1 vote would require the same amount of mechanical force as any other. They don't turnover at 999; they just keep spinning around like clocks. Just food for thought.

I'm planning on implementing this type of machine for our elections in my new Republic of Boredland. ;)
