Reply #11: It will be a lot closer to ending when all realize e-voting is FUBAR

[Land Shark]

it can not be "reformed" into success, it must GO AWAY. Computers are great for many things, but since they do what they are told without regard to law ethics or anything else by WHOEVER they are told to do it and WHENEVER they are told to do it, you can't have COMPUTERS counting votes in invisible trade secrecy of electronic software. This is not asking too much is it?: let's have transparent and open ethics in the most important of all PUBLIC things: vote counting.

Computers are also very fast, so they will always beat humans but this necessarily means that paper ballot "fixes" will be slower and then there will be the problem of distorted initial (electronic) results relative to real, final results IF WE EVER GET TO THE FINAL RESULT (which is the problem identified in the OP)
