The county I vote in (PG County, Maryland) uses an electronic system that works rather well. At least I haven't heard of any problems with it, and they used it for a few years now.
A physical copy is not hard to do, and should be done for the sake of permanency. The voter should not get a copy of the results (for the reasons stated previously), but printing out a tag that lists the results is neither hard nor a bad idea.
The problem with technology is that the people who know how to use it aren't in the position of power needed to ensure it's proper use.
