What is HN's view on the Indian Electronic Voting Machines? These machines are not connected to any network. They reduced invalid votes by a huge margin, increased trust in the system by making it almost impossible to stuff ballots, reduced the time to get the results by a very significant margin - even a full recount can be done in just a few hours. There are risks. IMHO, those risks existed with paper ballots as well. Also to note that this works well in India (so far no major complaints) primarily because it's accompanied by an independent Election Commission i.e., national/state/local sitting officials don't oversee elections.

I can't speak for all of HN, but my own opinion is that if the machines don't produce a voter-verifiable physical paper trail, they are insecure.
