Benefits of paper ballots voted in precinct polling locatons.
Whenever officials wish to prove that electronic vote recording and vote counting equipment is correct, they rely on the paper record of vote and they hand count the votes. This is because hand counted votes on paper ballots can be transparent and verifiable.
Bi-partisan election judges control voting and vote counting in precinct polling locations. Unaccountable vendors and government staffers control voting and vote counting for unsolicited mail ballot elections.
Voting in person insures that eligible voters are not turned away from the polls; they place their own anonymous ballot into the ballot box to be counted; and ineligible voters might be caught if they attempt to cast a ballot at the polls. Voting by unsolicited mail or absentee ballot, even if the ballots are delivered by hand, frequently causes voters to lose their vote; requires voters to trust in luck that their ballot will get delivered on time (if submitted by mail) and actually gets into the ballot box (even if delivered by hand); and allows ineligible people to safely vote other people's ballots knowing that they cannot be caught.
Paper precinct registration lists and poll books are accessible to poll watchers in precincts. They are invisible computer files in unsolicited mail ballot elections.
