I'm sure people said the same when we switched from raising hands to the
paper ballot system.

Electronic voting suffers some of the same problems as paper voting.
It's only as secure as we make it. (We being the people that set up the
entire process.) Personally, I'd like to see the voting software be open
sourced and use gpg. They should use those little minicds (the business
card sized ones) and people coming in to vote, can use that as their One
time use gpg key to sign their vote with. then they keep that key and
verify it later. The soft for the verification would be on that cd as
well. It'd not be too horribly difficult for the average computer luser
to use. But it'd be radically different for the voting process.
And OMG OPENSOURCE IS THE DEVIL!!!!11
or whatever those nutjobs would say.
