We just need to make sure the voting machines are not racist. Solvable, if we're starting from scratch.

The phrase "voting machine" is also a problem.

Only when accompanied by "paperless" or "closed source"

Nope. It'll never work. Because when I walk into the voting booth, how do I KNOW FOR A VERIFIABLE FACT that this machine here in the booth with me is running the published software?

Computerized voting will always be a mistake.

The machine produces a physical paper record you can read, it doesn't matter what software it's running if you can verify your vote is accurate.
