4. Paper Trail Trials
Even as a computer geek I've found the only people who don't want to keep a paper trail for a business related program are those who are planning to cheat at something.

What is wanted is like a credit card receipt, a voter verified bar-code with printed backup of the votes registered that the voter has to sign/verify with a thumbprint or something optional for those who can't sign because of physical handicap. That's a secure voting trail, the only proper way to do it.
