I just watched the movie "Man of the Year" starring Robin Williams. In the movie, a voting system named Delacroy, which sounds similar to the real life Diebold voting machines, malfunctions and makes Robin William's character win the presidential election of the United States. Diebold has been recently in the news itself when it machines were feared by state officials to be unreliable and prone to hacking. To make matters worse, the key to open the voting machines was copied off Diebold's own website where a picture of the key was displayed.
With these uncertainties in electronic voting, are we to embrace voting on paper? Does "Man of the Year" make a good point?
