Here in Brazil we have been using electronic voting for some years, and the results are always good. There have never been any complaints about legitimacy (?) of the results.
Also, I don't think that paper-based voting models can be quicker than that. Here we usually have the results at the end of the night of the voting day.
I might add another point: in the last elections, we knew who was going to be the new president in the same day (or the next, I don't remember quite well). We didn't have to wait for a Court to decide whether the votes from some region should be counted again or not, nor had to wait for months to know who won the election.
Well, at least the Indians won't have the problem of not knowing who the heck is their president because no one really knows where the hell are those ballots from Florida...

Does this remind anyone else of a certain Dilbert episode?
Any decent Physics course teaches the basics of building mass-destruction weapons. Ban those, too!!

I hope I am being obvious enough...
