Being in the US state that has the whole "hanging chads" debacle in 2008, I believe paper ballots are just a way to introduce biased human decision making into determining whose vote counts and whose doesn't. I'm pro electronic.

@ViciDraco Sorr, I don't see the connection between methods and outcome.
Either way you asking voters their choice.
What you imply though is ballot-rigging, but that is very difficult if the ballot is operated properly.
I doubt an electronic method is necessarily any more secure than an electronic cystem. Indeed, if a national election is Internet-based, its security is compromised immediately.
You also imply the election identifying how individuals vote apparently because this can be done from paper ballot-slips. It would be easy to arrange an electronic voting system to collect that information, and covertly.
A proper ballot does not link individial to choice. In fact it would not even be a ballot, by definition.

@ViciDraco The "hanging chads" was a con job reason to recount 20 times because the one who lost could not let it go. if a HOLE is pushed thru a form next to a name...whether it fully falls out or not.....take a wild guess who they wanted to vote for?
