And goes back to paper ballots.
Good. May other states do the same. Or mandate that e-voting is auditable, secure, with a solid paper trail before using it. Because now, it’s obviously not.

While not enshrined in the Constitution, one tradition from the New England town meetings (which pre-date the Constitution) is that you have the right to a paper ballot at your request. (Like when someone feels a voice vote is too close to accuratelty call.) No paper trail makes me very nervous.
Here in Utah, the ballot machines are electronic, but each one prints a paper tape for the Clerk’s records as well as a record of the ballot for mine. I cant say that on general principle I like relying on a computer, but at least it keeps a paper trail!
We’ve been using paper here in Oregon for quite some time now.
