Electronic voting has all that and more.

I don't think electronic voting is anymore dangerous than paper ballots. On the contrary, they're both systems that need constant oversight.

How do you provide constant oversight on a closed-source computer system? It may be theoretically possible to make an electronic voting sistem that is at least as secure as paper, but nobody has done it, and it seems as if the big players would rather die than do so.
