This.

It's not Ludditism to acknowledge that technology isn't always the answer. There's no hackable network stack on an electro-mechanical optical scanner, no program logic to exploit and corrupt, and it's easy to verify the correct operation of the machine. It will absolutely take longer to tally votes, but that's part of the trade-off. Security is pain, and sometimes it's worth it.
