Can you please edit out swipes from your HN comments, and generally stop posting aggressively? You haven't been doing it extremely (which is good) but you have been doing it repeatedly (which is bad).

Your comment here, for example, would be fine without the last bit ("you've missed the point entirely").

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

You still have to securely distribute those machines. All of the things still apply. Actually you need even more security!

Printing paper is cheap. Shipping it is cheap. Checking it is cheap and obvious. Reprinting is cheap. You don't even need to ship them. Most of the cities are close to industrial areas which has big printers and paper mills.

Making stamps or buying pens is cheap. You validate ballots at the polling stations which is scalable and cheap. It is the members of public who validate it. You don't need to pay most of them. They are just local constituents! It is their vote!

You are not aware how far away you are from the point!
