Just to add my 2 cents. I participated in elections before, both as a candidate and as member of the voting table (at instances at the same time as well). If there is some complicit agreement you can see certain leaning votes being discarded as not being clear enough, mostly because they are too left for the table or the inverse. This is widespread and a mostly unknown phenomena, since no one is going to recount a table for a small percentage of discrepancy.

I don't know anything about electronic voting but if it can guarantee there is no personal opinion in the middle, good.
