Voting machines that are not open source, and do not print a paper ballot for public verification are the problem. They grant the capability to steal an election without an audit trail.

There's a reason they were implemented, and their numerous proven vulnerabilities have never been fixed, and that reason was to steal elections. I'm not saying the election was "stolen" via direct election fraud, but there's no way to know for sure.
