If it's serious like in a vote for the senate, I wouldn't do it that way, everything on the net can be hacked

Problems with touchscreen machines slow vote count
Problems with Alaska’s new touchscreen voting machines slowed election returns Tuesday and caused elections officials to hand count and manually upload vote totals from several precincts across the state.
Election coordinator Lauri Wilson said several Diebold touchscreen machines in Southeast Alaska, the Interior and near Nome did not upload their votes into the Division of Elections’ central computing system. The machines’ modems either did not get a dial tone or had other problems, Wilson said.
The votes from touchscreen voting machines in four Kodiak precincts had to be manually uploaded because the electronic ballots were required to be presented in more than one language, Wilson said.
Affected were seven precincts in Southeast Alaska and Kodiak, five in the Interior - including Nenana, Healy and Tok - and Unalakleet.
One precinct’s optical scanner voting machine also could not connect by modem, Wilson said.
Election officials worked into the early morning hours manually uploading the information from those precincts into the overall election results.
