I'm going to be totally non-cynical and say that we have trained our 
pollies too well that computerising a system = a good thing.
We've taught them that a well implemented system saves lots of dollars, 
that the punters like the result and that they Look Good! (Completely 
different to a rollout fiasco, of course)

Now we have to teach them that the voting system isn't broken, please 
don't try to fix it...
