Hi, i disagree. A (dumb) terminal in each french house. For free ! in the 80's!

As we had one in every house, there was "online" services which were very popular. Like school registration and ordering. And nationwide yellow pages! 24/7 ! Without the need to get to the post office to check for the county directory, on opening hours .

It was also a wonderful tool to connect people in communities. There was different rate charge and the cheapest were very low. I remember spending nights and nights chatting. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTEL

Jraf··on Fearful of Hacking, Dutch Will Count Ballots by Hand
In France we count all ballots by hand.

As every ballot station count only his ballots, it's quick.

For a presidential election, maybe 30 minutes.

The counting is done by the citizens, so no (easy) frauds are possible.

All ballots are visible, the process is transparent, no suspicion.

I personally think that a 30min delay to get the election results is worth the wait.
