Let's not forget about how the Bushs burned a few thousand votes in Florida to win the 2000 election over Gore.
It's hard to believe voting machines aren't hacked on the regular with how they're almost built to be insecure. But maybe they've never been hacked. I don't know.
Either way, that doesn't make all technological solutions bad by default. A technological solution /could/ be better than a paper solution.
I think the crypto bubble is very overhyped, but I'm pretty sure some form of a distributed voter database /could/ make it nearly impossible to forge a single vote, let alone forging votes at scale.
