The study tested if voters can spot errors on ballots from electronic voting machines. They found that 76% of voters noticed mistakes when they checked their ballots. This shows that voters can catch errors if they take the time to review their ballots. The study suggests that encouraging voters to check their ballots could help improve the accuracy of electronic voting systems.
