A dissenting opinion on electronic voting.

M. Shamos at CMU is the first computer scientist I've seen argue that paper trails are a bad idea in electronic voting.  I don't agree with his biggest point, but I think that there is some interesting
sociological information there.  For example, requiring paper trails by law stifles technological
innovation since anything non-paper-based would be illegal.
