15. The only possible problem would be political
Anyone who tells you it can't be done "technically", frankly, does not know what they are talking about. There are a plethora of computer-based security techniques such as finger-printing, public-key cryptology, etc that can be used to ensure a secure and verifiable voting system. The biggest obstacle I see is that private companies do not want to make their code open-source; and conversely, open-source communities like GNU are not in the field of signing contracts with the government.
