I am not impressed by your "this is the future" mantra.

I don't know the US voting booths (not from there!), but if they are bad, it's because powerful interests don't want this problem to be fixed, not because of a problem inherent to the technology called paper.

You can ask the relevant international organizations: "How do I ensure fair elections where any significant fraud attempts would be easily detected?" and they will tell you exactly how to do that. Has been done hundreds of times. The problems are known and the solutions are known as well.

Now you can ask security experts "How do I ensure that the software is doing exactly what it claims to be doing, and that everybody understands it?"
And the answer will be:

"lol!"
