I mean, I don't know, I didn't say you should ONLY vote digitally but it could be used as a backup and to compare.

As far as it being secure, do they even monitor the dropoff boxes? Mine was as a deserted fire station, pretty far from anywhere a camera could be that I saw.

Also...WHY don't you have people sign on the ballot as well, so it can be checked to make sure it's theirs? I don't see a negative to that. I guess it kinda prevents someone from telling who you voted for, but...does that really need to be kept secret?

Seems crazy to me, not to have an extra level of security that is pretty easy to do. At least let people have the OPTION of A: signing their ballot and B: Having it digitally processed so they can see what their vote was counted as. A machine has to count the votes anyway, so why not actually have it optionally (if you enter a number or fill a box etc) record the votes under your name so you (and optionally anyone) can see how you voted?

That seems like common sense to me.
