You wouldn't need to swing even half the states. Swinging a single key state like Florida could have a major impact on an election.

  > In 2012 there were 2712 voting precincts in Virginia... So to sway one state, you'd need most likely thousands of people working together and not one of them can reveal the whole plan.

  But you are still talking about thousands of people, MAYBE hundreds if it's a close election and you are really really strategic. With something electronic, at the very best you end up needing the same number of people at the same amount of locations. But this time instead of having to stuff a bunch of ballots into a box without anyone seeing you, you just need time alone with a machine at any point before voting or even during voting. (and I'll honestly admit I don't know which of those is easier, but that's before we get into all the other issues with electronic voting) I think there is a possibility that electronic voting could be better at some point in the far off future, but in reality and right now, the benefits don't even begin to outweigh the negatives.
