The Indian solution to moving off of paper ballots nationwide is:
1. Nationalized voter ID
2. Biometrically connected social security accounts
3. Electronic voting machines with paper verification
4. A federal agency that manages only the machines and works with local officials
In other words: a politically untenable solution for both the Republican and Democrat parties.
The Republicans are opposed to taking away local control over elections and the Democrats are opposed to any form of nationalized ID that would result in reduced voting rolls
Indians are laughing at US elections because it is really really easy to vote and have that vote counted quickly in India.
The days of ballot capture through violence or corruption are long gone
