I'll not convince you that electronic voting can be accurate but you're complaints will never turn back the hands of time. Your iPhone is compromised, your car tracks your every turn, and your vote will be tabulated electronically. No one wants to go back to the 1800s so we protect ourselves by adapting to our own technology.
In the case of voting we have to take measures to assure an accurate count and I believe Ohio has done a credible job. I'll not repeat the reasons why the output matches the paper trail and that creates an archive because you want nothing to do with the system anyway. You should get involved in your local elections and work to ensure accuracy. Work the polls twice a year, it's an honor and they pay you.
Meanwhile, good luck voting without diodes and processors this fall and for the rest of your life.
