Well, usually you will not count manually. Only in case of close margins or if some group distrust the outcome of the election results. Or if is a machine is suspect. Or just random sampling across the county to check for faulty machines.
They are planning for new voting machines. The machines will print on paper what you have voted. Afterwards you put the paper in the voting box. That way you have the quick results and you're able to validate the machines if necessary.
I install Xubuntu on all my friends laptops. They love it. They used to have like 20 tray-icons and all kinds of spyware. Now the run basically the same programs. Azureus, FireFox, GAIM, VLC, Evince etc.. They know it is much safer because, there is no more popups when they open IE!!! And by typing the password to install software, they know that some other program can't do stuff like that on their machine!!!
I don't see a crisis. I see a marketing issue, but that's all. Usability? As if Vista is that usable...
