The Path to Eliminating the Use of Electronic Voting Systems for Our Elections
Transparency is the foundation of election integrity. When electronic voting systems run our elections as “black boxes,” they replace public oversight with blind trust in a small circle of government officials and private vendors. The most transparent method is to eliminate electronic systems and return to hand-counting paper ballots, the way American elections were conducted for decades before computers entered the process.
Today, many election officials are deeply reliant on electronic systems and reluctant to part with them. Where full removal of machines is not yet possible, one practical step toward greater transparency is to photograph each ballot before it enters the tabulator, creating a verifiable record the public can examine and trust.
This presents America with two options for conducting the tabulation of our votes with enhanced election integrity.
Option 1
Hand Counts of Paper Ballots
Hand counts of our votes are nothing new. For much of our history, transparent and effective tallies were done locally in our towns and precincts, without machines. As electronic systems spread, elections became more centralized in the hands of county and state officials, making large‑scale subversion easier. Hand counts are not just about reducing technical vulnerabilities; they are about restoring meaningful local control over our elections.

Transparent Tabulator Counts of Paper Ballots
For election officials who are not yet ready to remove electronic voting systems but are willing to enhance transparency, Shasta County, CA offers a practical interim step. Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis has added an extra security measure to the tabulation process: ballots are examined on both sides before and after they are run through the tabulator, and the public is invited to watch the entire process in person, via live stream, or later through archived video.
Curtis has also removed the physical and procedural barriers that once kept citizens at a distance, creating a genuinely welcoming, transparent environment where every stage of ballot processing can be closely observed by anyone. This kind of open design can serve as a transitional model on the path toward ultimately eliminating electronic voting systems altogether.
