I have to say that this is the fault of everyone involved in allowing electronic voting systems that have no visible paper trail and are counted by private corporations with no provisions made for recount. Some of the most important security specialists including Bruce Schneier have vocally lobbied against such systems.

The existance of such systems and their wide spread deployment in the US is frightening. It serves no benefit to anyone save those who hope to use them to steal elections. Hopefully in the attempt to export democracy to the rest of the world the US leaves this kind at home.
