That system has spawned complaints
of patronage that has led to the BOE's
failures over the years, including the inability to upgrade to
electronic voting machines required by the 2002 Help America
Vote Act by the deadline years later.
The only things you list that are actually worse for
electronic voting than they are for paper balloting are the problem
of risk allocation (there are fewer points
of failure between the voter and the count in paper ballots, and they are less easily manipulated), and the problem
of secret balloting (which is only worse for internet - based
voting).
