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.

100% we need to switch back to entirely paper ballots, even if it takes months to determine a winner.

Washington uses paper ballots absentee only and only needs more than a few hours to figure out results unless there’s a very tight race.

No it doesn’t. Elections take place at the county level, not state.
