We have paperless voting machines because:

1. It enables the people at the top to easily fix the vote with no paper trail.

2. It secures their buddies who manufacture those voting machines a lucrative contract.

It is true that the Democrats were quite clever at vote fraud in various past elections. They probably actually lost in 1960, for example. The Republicans are also clever at vote fraud. Give them paperless machines, and you can guarantee that they will cheat. Either one of them will. The main cheating will occur in the crucial swing states. It's a game. They play, the public loses.
