Any electronic ballot can be manipulated....if later needed an electronic ballot can be produced....however, if the votes are not correct there is a question about whether the mistake was caused by someone pushing the wrong button...there is no way to prove if votes were altered or if someone just pushed the wrong button...
In a paper ballot...that issue is removed...it can be later checked....
sure..someone could physically erase a vote and check another mark...but usually you can tell if someone has done that...
Paper ballots are the safest and have the least chance of being manipulated
