I understand the problems that are possible with the Diebold machine, but doesn't it seem that there ought to be a way to do secure electronic voting?
It's not the case that there was no voter fraud with paper ballots, so while they do at least offer a paper trail, it seems to me that with everything that we are willing to accept the security of electronically, that it ought to be possible to have secure and accurate electronic voting.
I mean, think about the whole scan form procedure. Why would that be a whole lot more secure? Is the idea that if the totals were manipulated when the computer counted them, you'd at least have the paper forms to compare them too? Wouldn't the same be true with touch screen votes that printed two receipts: one for the voter and one for the polling station?
