It's not Luddite to understand that that a preexisting technology is superior to what's newer. Accountability is a requirement of a voting system, like Halx said, there needs to be a backup. In the article accountablity was sought and there was no backup.

It's easy to reconstruct the life and career of any 17th century British naval swabbie if you have access to the paper hardcopy records. Try and investigate the U.S. military records of say even...The President of the United States...and you won't find anything due to a "microfilm flaw."

I think we do need U.N. election oversight. There are simply too few truly non-partisan people in the country right now.
