"... these voting machine issues clearly showed the need for electronic voting machine booths..."

The hanging chad fiasco showed the need for following established procedures. Those particular machines had not been cleaned for multiple years. So the holes filled up. Preventing new votes from being cast.

The problem electronic voting machines solved was the vendors were envious of dot com valuations. The HAVA pork triggered a gold rush by the vendors, juicing their revenue and stock prices and exec payouts. The gear didn't actually solve any technical problems. They weren't even "accessible", which was their primary stated purpose.
