indeed voting machines shouldn't be trusted (or used). Making a cross on a sheet of paper is simple and verifiable (also later), helps to provide a transparent voting process, is working more reliably (even without power) on the other side electronic machines are much harder to verify (indeed almost none of the voters has even the theoretical capacity to verify the machine, which isn't allowed anyway because of trade secrets), usually are blackboxes to the voter, emit radiation that allows to read the votes remotely in real time and have proven in the past to be problematic (e.g. nedap, see Netherlands 2006, http://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nedap
(English article doesn't contain the infos),or eg current implementations in 2009 judged to be anticonstitutional by German federal constitutional court, in 2006 all projects in Italy stopped after accusations of manipulations with voting machines in the same year)
