I worked out a new voting system that,
combining the good points of paper voting with those of computing,
guarantees quick, honest and verifiable results.

What about international control & certification of elections?
If electronic elections were held in a country like Saddam's IRAQ would it be
possible for International Organizations (as UN, OCSE...) to check and
certificate such electoral results?
I'm sure nobody could honestly certify such results.
So why should we presume that the above results could be certified if the
electione were held in our countries?
Because we are much more honest than any dictator around the world?
Please let's be serius! In our countries somebody has certified ENRON's
financial statements until the day of the final crash! Why should such people
(and companies) become suddently honest when the matter of their job is giving
the power to rule a country (and most of the whole world, in the case of USA) ?
I want to say that if we have a look at the problem of e-vote in its entirety
we
soon notice that it is not a technical problem, but a social one.
The risks are so huge and the forces in the battle so powerful that we, the
people, should pretend to vote in the only safe way which is paper ballots!
Of course with paper ballots some few votes may go lost, but not any foreign
country, not any terroristic group, not any economical or political power will
ever be able to alter results of our electons!
I think this is the real point and compared to it cryptography, VVPAT, codes,
mathematical voting systems, and related things are all misleading technicalities!
