Slightly off-topic, but a great video on why Electronic Voting could be a bad idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI

I've wondered before why the UK doesn't have e-voting, and after watching it is sort of seems obvious. With traditional voting, it can easily be changed on a small scale, but is very hard to do in a meaningful way. Whilst with e-voting, its almost just as much effort to change on a small scale as a bigger scale, with much fewer people being involved.

I particularly like the idea that the reason we use pencils is as a protection against somebody replacing pens with ones with invisible ink. Not sure if this is true though.
