Why are we using machines to vote when they're costly, hackable, break down and don't have a paper trail?

We need paper ballots for honest elections.

The US Need Not Inevitably Descend into Violent Chaos If and When Disaster Strikes Both the survivalist right and liberal politicians pushing back on environmentalists who want strong action on cutting carbon emissions warn of violent chaos in case of economic collapse or rules banning oil/gas wells or gas guzzling vehicles.
