Technology strangely enough doesn’t solve voting — if there are publicly available machines, you can’t verify what is actually ran there, if they are some decentralized crypto-based “smart contract” you lose the ability to refrain from voting (e.g. an agressive husband can make her wife vote as he pleases, while with the traditional approach she can just go inside and say that she voted, while it’s truly up to her what she does. I think paper votes with people who count votes (getting representation from every party, as well as volunteers) is a fair and okay system — it’s not like it will scale. The problem is parties (their very limited number, and tendency to find small, often unimportant differences and use “us vs them” against us), electorates and that humans are dumb as a whole. Not sure how to solve these.
