43. You betcha. If it can be hacked or compromised in any way

someone knows how to do it.

I wouldn't mind computer based voting with several exceptions to what we have now.

we vote by computer, it's stored in computer, it prints out paper, we deposit paper in box, it prints us a receipt as to how we voted; yep, a duplicate of our ballot which we take home with us.

Imagine the morning after around the water cooler as we all compare our votes with what happened the day before.

They can do a quick count based on what's stored in the computer which can be compared with what's printed on the paper which we have our own copy of to see if any votes "accidentally" were mis-cast.
