For election day, vote and count manually

As noted in an earlier post, the American voter, in this age of technology, has had trouble using their polling stations.

Some waiting lines were too long due to a lack of enough voting machines.  Some have voted for the wrong candidate.  And you haven't known whether their voting calculations were correct.  The lack of full trust from the voter has been of increased concern.

The tried and true paper ballot system had proven to be mostly trustworthy.  Not only had it given the voter control of how they voted, it made the vote counting process more transparent.  Just because the voting technology became more sophisticated hasn't meant it's more accurate.
