The Netherlands returned to voting with paper and pencil since a university proved that the voting machines could be hacked. It takes a day or two more to count the votes, but who cares, apart from the media? If a technology creates more problems than it solves, it should be abandoned.

Many voting machines produce paper ballots, and voting machines may be more accessible to those with certain disabilities. I think what you mean is that there is no reason to transmits votes from the voting machines to tabulators on electronic media rather than paper ballots.
