Paper does not need to be slow. In my country (Chile) and, I suppose, several other Thrid World countries, the voting is very well organized, and you can have the results at night, only hours after voting started.
I would really like to see atempts to implement Artificial Intelligence over the network. Maybe the concept of "agents" moving between several machines, learning from each user and environment...
You could deply several small programs with individual functions, make them fight to achive some objective, and melt their characteristics using genetic algorithms, could work to try to find the optimum software for a specific task.

It's only matter of organization.
