That's an interesting perspective, considering electronic voting already
*is* "something new". A man with tinfoil inside his fez might wonder if
this points to a greater conspiracy that hinges on the lack of a paper
trail from the voting machines.
Speaking of which, this[1] Cringely column doesn't seem to have received
much notice, even though it points out that the Diebold machines
*already have a printer* built in. While it's probably not equipped to
do Chaumian voter receipts, it could certainly do the old-fashioned
human-readable type. That's a SMOP.
Sorry... left out the link.
