I recently read this diary today about some obvious fraud with the Diebold voting machines in Ohio and started wondering how, or even if, it would be possible to ensure more accurate results and fewer possibilities of fraud. The most obvious one, of course, is a verifiable paper trail. AS soon as the user has voted a paper slip containing their vote is deposited in some sort of locked box while their vote is also recorded electronically. Not a very complex system. All you need is a printer with the paper feed going into the aforementioned box. How hard is that? Yet, strangely, this turns out to be too much for Diebold.
