16. SHAVING votes on these machines, won't be caught easily.
Once the individual machine has metal shaved from the pull handle, it will lose a small percentage of votes, maybe lose all the votes. The side of the machine will indicate the number of voters. The candidate's count will be low. Bunch of people went into the machine and did not vote for anyone will be the excuse, just as it is now with undervotes and overvotes. Year after year, good candidates will know which machines should have your opponent at which location on the individual machine board.

Not hard to do nor hide.

Paper ballots. People readable. Machine readable if we have lots of money.
