Thanks for posting, TIA! (But please, I'm begging you, don't argue 10 million vs. umpti trillion.)

The chart on difference between voting types alone is worth the price of admission.

The report shows differences in WPE {within precinct error} for different types of voting equipment (p. 40). Precincts with paper ballots showed a median WPE of -0.9, consistent with chance, while all other technologies were associated with unexplained high WPE:

Type of equipment
used at polling place
. . . . . . . . . Median WPE Overall
Paper ballot . . . . . . . -0.9
Mechanical voting machine -10.3
Touch screen . . . . . . .-7.0
Punch cards . . . . . . . -7.3
Optical scan . . . . . . .-5.5
