They reasoned that electronic voting is not verifiable because citizen votes are counted in secret. It obscured a technology inaccessible to all but a very few initiates. Most importantly, the German high court noted, electronic voting machines don't allow citizens to "reliably examine, when the vote is cast, whether the vote has been recorded in an unadulterated manner" Mar. 3, 2009.

I've been saying this for years. The Colorado Constitution gives specific instructions for manual vote-counting. ALL voting contractors refuse to give their algorithms.
