60. #9 is impractical
And one of the biggest arguments is the votes shouldn't leave the polling place.

Voter-verified paper ballots, read and confirmed by the voter, and dropped in a ballot box by the voter or machine.

You can't call everyone back with their slip of paper to recount an election and the validation issues of the paper would go through the roof!

That is exactly the problem with VoteHere's so-called "solution."
Only that piece of paper has a code on it you have to match to a list somewhere.

Nope, ballots at the polling place and counted there, too, if need be. In fact, a certain percentage of paper ballot should always be hand counted to verify that the computer program isn't getting "creative."
