How about over an open source one? I have occationally thought of starting a kickstarter for an open-source voting system. It would be completely open- even down to choosing an open-source processor, and completely and transparently audited.

While this is also true for a paper based manual-counted system the later is so transparent to anyone that cheating becomes very very difficult. Source code will never be transparent to anyone but programmers.
