you are correct. What's most important here is the ability for people to track and verify what has been voted. If we want computers to speed up the counting of votes then we should also have printed verification for the voters as reassurance and redundancy if needed. Most people like to look at this issue from several soapbox point-of-views, but the real reason this is a problem is because it makes the process less transparent and more suspicious than it needs to in order to accomplish the small benefits realized from using it. Solution??? Electronic voting with two printed receipts. One for voter reassurance and one for paper ballot counting verification. Checks and balances... checks and balances...
