#2 And when the officials announce the final tally of votes from such systems how will we be certain the numbers indeed represent the votes of the people? We can't, of course. The numbers could represent the will of the system operators, or of the most skilled hackers instead.

The scary thing is that I suspect other, more competitive jurisdictions are just as vulnerable.
