I wouldn't be so quick to give credence to electronic ballots if I were you.

ETA: This tactic was attempted to throw the Ohio gubernatorial election in 2006 in favor of Ken Blackwell. The only reason why it backfired was that the votes was rigged to throw the election favor of Blackwell by a certain percentage, but the percentage of voters voting for Strickland exceeded that, so the rigging effort was made worthless.
