Have to agree with you there. With the incredible improvements in technology over the last ten years, you'd think paper ballots would be a thing of the past. A touch-screen polling machine would be simple enough, and if a physical ballot is required by law, have the machine spit one out. Use the Internet to report the results (on a preliminary basis) back to a central server. Pretty simple exercise. Even the most remote of places in the US are accessible by telephone, I would think.
