I don't think the argument that "electronic voting doesn't work because x, y, z" is implicitly making the argument "the current system does not need fixing". It does, especially in america for the reasons you've outlined, among others, but in many other western countries as well. But electronic voting, at least right now, doesn't solve any of the difficult problems. I think we as "the technological elite", in many ways, need to be responsible with what our hammer makes us see as nails. A perfect electronic voting system would make the current system more efficient and likely increase participation, at least somewhat, but it wouldn't fix any of the real problems, and we don't have a perfect electronic voting system _anyway_.
