I have seen footage of voting in America and can't understand why it is more complicated than necessary ie. Why use a machine that can cause an error when anyone can simply write on their ballot?.
Because it is easier and more cost efficient to have a machine read the punch card ballots than to hire people to read each individual ballot.
