A friend of mine served as the registrar of voters for a small town in Connecticut. He told me there is a whole procedure they have in place to even handle the ballots once they are placed in the machine. There has to be a chain of custody. There is always that aspect of it, it someone can get a hold of a box of ballots and somehow slip those into the process, it would be easy to circumvent any machine that relies on a paper audit trail. A double entry system where you get your paper ballot optically scanned and you also place your vote into a independent system maybe even an electronic one could provide a better check against having just one system as a point of failure?
