Maybe it's my underlying German-ness but I don't understand why people would want an electronic voting system. Being confronted with the gazillions of possible failures in hardware and software, the idea seems at least risky to me. And for what gain? Can't we simply think of election day as something to celebrate democracy by putting a mark on a physical piece of paper? Call me old-fashioned, but I really enjoy visiting the election office.
