#2 I expect the recent voting irregularities investigation directed by POTUS may make a similar recommendation. I'm certainly not against technology, but not everything needs to be fully automated. Like 3dc said, it just makes sense.

#3 You gotta worry about who counts the votes just like you gotta worry about who programs the computer but it's probably easier to watch the vote counters.

#4 Abu, decentralization is better. Remember anyone can make a mistake but it takes a computer to really screw things up.

Hack the computers and you can steal all the votes. If it's paper and people you can only get a few.

Paper ballots are recountable and can be examined bits in a machine? Not so much.
