I keep seeing comments about how Canada avoided a similar fate because of its strict use of paper ballots; the US must have changed its system to include these electronic and possibly not airgapped machines.

Some places have hybrid machines; an electronic interface but gives you a printout of your choices (like a Scantron form filler). I’m fine with this option so long as hardcopies are preserved for 2 years minimum and randomized checks are performed before and after an election on EVERY machine.
Kansas has the hybrid style so I fill out a paper ballot and it is scanned and the results tabulated electronically with a paper trail for auditing. This actually seems even more reliable to me than only paper or electronic with printed out copies for a paper trail.
Same here. Paper ballots that can be machine scanned and stored for manual audits seem like the best possible method.
Trump’s Justice department just demanded all records on 2020 and 2024 federal elections from Colorado.
