Let's keep the voting process what it should be:
A hands on experience.
One box to check with a "x" or "checkmark" the old fashion way, with pen or marker in hand placed directly next to the person or measure being voted for.
With all the ways to pervert the actual voting process via the electronic voting booth, as witnessed in Florida (Gore v. Bush), constitutional rights and are being toss aside on behalf of the power elite of that particular area. This has the potential of corrupting the voice of the people and those rights that so many people have died to preserve for over two hundred years.
Upon my entry in the the greatest military branch of all of history, the United States Marine Corps, I took an oath to defend the constitution of the United States from all its enemies. Our enemies are those right here in our own backyard. These are those people willing to "prevert" the people's voice as heard via the voting ballot.
We have the greatest society since the days of the great Roman Empire. Certainly, there are many flaws and injustices in our systems. However, in all of history, never has there been a civilization such as ours. If we sit back and allow the way in which the individual American citizen vote their conscience to become preverted then our own downfall will be soon at hand. Read history. This need not become the last days of the Roman Empire all over again.
Let's keep voting simple. Toss out the electronic gadgets at the voting booths and return to the power of the hand and pen. Lessen risk where risk need not be.
