1. It's cheaper in the long run.

2. It's already the gold standard for accuracy even before you have a recount.

3. It would show beyond doubt that the machines have been maliciously programmed for years and are still being maliciously programmed.

4. It would restore democracy or at least give democracy a fighting chance.

5. You wouldn't have crazy people elected to public office or you'd have fewer of them anyway.

6. It would increase local community pride and greater community involvement in the process of voting.

7. And there are many other positives associated with HAND-COUNTED PAPER BALLOTS.
