This is how it works in India: Once we click the button for a candidate, There will be light highlighting the selection on the voting machine. A printer that is connected to the voting machine prints the voted candidate symbol (and name?) and shows us the printed paper through a glass for a few seconds for verification and then drops it in.

Later during the counting procedure, random ballots are counted for both. If someone arises some issues about the voting, those are then counted using printed ballot papers.

eqtn··on Apple-Epic judge asks why offering iOS users a choice is bad
The choice should be with the user. If an app has a redirect to their website for payment, there should be an option of Apple pay too(may be with 30% extra) just like how every app with "Login with Facebook/Google" has an option "Login with Apple"
eqtn··on Apple tries to get Epic to admit there's porn on its store
If apple are fored to allow other stores through its app store, then those stores and apps in them would have to adhere to the same app store guidlines.

So that we don't have to fiddle with the Altstore to install iTorrent, Emulators or Youtube++
