I would like to avoid the politics (but I certainly have my biases). There has to be a way to make it work simply and transparently, and dare I say it, fair.
But it will never be put into practice. Thanks in part to the huge amount of money thrown away on the Republican-biased Diebold and their insecure black boxes, people have been trained to repeat bumper-sticker criticisms like "hackers can break into anything" or "no electronic voting is completely secure." They form ridiculous conclusions like "the only fair vote is a paper vote."
To make matters worse, even if we someday do see a sea change and implement secure, verifiable electronic voting, it isn't going to make much of a difference unless we also adopt a better method of choosing a winner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo
