I really think that the solution to this problem would be an open source system, designed jointly by all those on the internet who created the likes of Linux and other systems and programs.... encryption technology and such is at a level that a paper trail could be varified by each voter, if they are given unique alpha/numeric receipt that could then be inputed into the internet where they could see how their vote was counted...etc... really... it's up to all of us to take elections back from the corporations, and those that wish to usurp democracy.
