The e-voting machines suck. period. accuracy has nothing to do with it...

[acroyear]

the problem isn't the voting environment (although that could use some help, given your brief description here).

the problem is the software and how it reports the totals to the main system.

that total is NOT auditable. there is no accountability built into it at all. the government (well, the republicans who sponsored the legislation to use these pieces of junk) wants us to just trust them that it all will work reliably and accurately and be content little sheep.

and that's garbage.

the diebold machines do not print a receipt for you to go "yeah, that's what I voted". the diebold machines to not print a receipt for the judges to go "yeah, we have paper copies of all the votes so we can validate the results should it come to a close call".

they do it all electronically, with no way for anybody independent of them to verify that it all is accurate.

would you trust the ATM that doesn't at least offer a receipt? even when you don't ask for a receipt, you can hear the ATM printing an internal receipt for its own auditing and accounting. would you trust a store that doesn't offer a receipt? would you trust online commerce if they didn't email you every time a purchase happened with your account?

would you trust your company to send the IRS the w2 forms and not send you a copy?

the banks would NEVER trust an electronic gizmo that didn't print paper references to what goes on with the money, even if they never have to look at that paper again.

The Vote is the most important aspect of our society, FAR more important than the Dollar. Do NOT trust ANYTHING that doesn't give your vote the same security and accountability you would expect and/or demand for your dollar.
