Then, we're not ready to vote

Regardless of how good or bad the designs that are out there, most of the criticism of electronic voting is against it in principle. It's more vulnerable to that criticism only because it's new. If someone were about to introduce optical scanning or mechanical levers, you could easily run roughshod over the system and get enough people to fear it. Most people would be shocked if they knew the limitations of those systems. It's nonsense to even suggest that any of the current systems are imune from fraud or abuse.

Anything that can be done with a paper ballot or mechanical machine can be done on computer more efficiently, reliably, securly, and economically. It's all amatter of design.
