Any secure, reliable e-voting machine will have a paper trail... in which case it's essentially an expensive printer. I dislike John Howard, the aussie PM. He is a fucking liar. But I never once thought that he didn't genuinely get voted in, cos the Aussie voting system is bulletproof. Put a Big Red Tick next to your candidate. Put paper in a box that's identical to all other ballot boxes. Election run by people who are non-partisan.
