Why paper ballots still matter in electronic voting

Original: The cryptography behind e-voting (and why paper ballots are still essential)

Security firm Trail of Bits has published a detailed explainer on the cryptography behind electronic voting, arguing that even strong encryption cannot replace paper ballots. The post walks through how cryptographic protocols can verify votes and protect secrecy, while emphasising that end-to-end verifiability and voter-verifiable paper records remain essential to trustworthy elections.

Why now: Interest in election security and the limits of cryptographic voting systems keeps resurfacing, especially around voting periods
