Just a simple reason why: if a website and a database are on the same system, the traffic between the two never leaves the system, hence not subject interception and is secure unless the *entire* system is compromised. A lot of people with a lot more knowledge than myself can easily make it happen. When was the last time you heard of a bank system being hacked? This is infinitely more complex than electronic voting would be.
Electronic voting won't happen for a long time because of politics. I'm not going to go into details on this statement, as that is not a topic for this board, but there is no doubt than elimating humans from a simple count will lead to more accurate results.
Also, how common is a secure system broken into? Please name a few because I can't think of any secure systems broken into lately at all.

How about credit card payment processing center.... just as secure... there was a major one just last year affecting millions of Canadian and US card holders.
What it comes down to, if there is a close running, what "hard" verification do you have with electronic systems?
