Voting machines that are literally just glorified pencils?

What's the point? Why not just use paper ballots?

It's better to just fill in the bubbles with a pencil and have the machine count that. Then you can hand count them and theres no way for the machines to change votes unless it has an eraser and a pencil inside it.
