I was here 5 years ago, and IIRC most peeps have always been deeply skeptical and critical of electronic voting. If there was a push in that direction it would have been because of the "hanging chad" problem in Florida during the 2000 election fight between Gore and Bush 2. No doubt that's why so many states have gone electronic (and because it's a relatively rare chance to get an easy "state upgrading to better tech" win for officials).
