Technology is created with the goal of making a tedious task simple. Electronic voting machines (EVMs) make the task of counting ballots, much easier. A system that was prone to human error and corruption, is now easy for voters to use, better at keeping votes private, and more secure from tampering. Voting is a right that all American citizens should feel comfortable in exercising. EVMs are very easily accessible by the majority of citizens. "Only 32% of Americans 59 and older were comfortable with electronic voting" (Electronic Voting Is A Bad Idead). These concerns are worth noting, and should be thought about when designing updates for the EVMs. However, widespread use of EVMs will show that they are a more secure replacement

Like the person who wrote "Electronic Voting Is a Bad Idea" states that in 2007 a "...malicious software can transfer EVM votes for one candidate to another without the voter noticing", and in 2014 "...dozens of voters reported that machines had incorrectly recorded their votes". If something like that happens, then all those people who voted will have to go back and vote again. Making it a hassel on everyone.

Consequently, the matter gets worse in some states and local counties. In order to fulfill the people satisfaction, the government need to do two duties. The first process that the State must do is require all voting machines to produce a voter’s confirmation which will be used for auditing purposes to see if vote match with hand count records (National Conference of State Legislature. 2016). The counties can only do little because it needs the states approval and financial funding.
