I'd argue that at present point, if our government upped their standards for information security, we'd be at a point where we could effectively drop the electoral system all together, and move to direct voting. And I think the country would be better for it.
The problem is that our federal government has shown a remarkable willingness to stick their collective heads in the sand when it comes to matters of information security whether out of ignorance, unwillingness to spend the money to upgrade security, or a mixture of both.
