8. E-voting is not cheaper is certainly not easier
It's true that it could be done. Banks do it. But they're setting up systems that generate a profit and run every day and therefore can support an IT security department.. We're talking here a system that will run one day every two years. Little old ladies in tennis shoes don't cost anything. And that sweet smile would never rip you off.

Another one they run all the time. It'll take forever to count all those votes. the typical precinct with 1-2000 voters can be counted in 30-40 minutes. Show me someone that says otherwise and I'll show someone that hasn't worked the pols or is a lie'in repub disinformation agent.

Just for the record department, $45 Million in paper currency was stolen last year while $550 million was stolen electronically.

And Hell how you going to secure all those either nets given the fact that insiders invariably are involved.
