Shane, I’d be interested to see more on why you believe electronic voting is the future.
It’s interesting you should use a picture of a Diebold voting machine. Some would argue that Diebold machines haven’t been a good advert for electronic voting. For example: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/04/diebold_vote_da.html
While the traditional ballot paper may not be perfect, everyone understands how it works and where its flaws lie. Who understands the potential in an electronic voting machine for error and tampering?
Substituting paper ballots with an IT system takes a process that’s open for anyone to scrutinise and puts it at the mercy of a technically savvy few.
