How has the track record on old fashioned voting been? Do we require a perfect replacement or a better one?
While conventional voting is far from great, the first time someone hacks an online vote is going to set it back for decades. It could be better now, but it almost has to be perfect to get people to switch.
i would go for better over perfect.
