I agree with ahmed toulan about something, this system can't be applied at least not soon because of the corruption in our political system, implementing such methods would give people who seek power an easy way to gaining it, no paper needed no nothing, just altering/adding few records in a data base would do the trick, of course they'll need to get access through the person who has it but I believe it won't be that hard.
Right now I'd stick with the supervised terminals located in certain places but also keep the old paper and ink, just to have some thing to verify with and probably one or two more things to keep people from voting for other people, at the beginning we'll just make it faster to determine the winning people, but when things get stable we can use more features, like real time statistics and such, (remember that firefox download counter for firefox 4?)

My graduation project is E-Voting over the internet and mobile....we're currently researching different technologies for connections, load balancing and security techniques...for reliability, security, efficiency and effectiveness....and it will include terminals for those who do not have internet/mobile access or those who can not read/write and we might introduce methods for the disabled

voting machines located at polling stations);

influence, and is not physically supervised by representatives of 
governmental authorities (e.g. voting from one's personal 
computer,mobile phone,television via the internet (i-voting).IMO It's a little bit hard to expect remote e-voting at our current state. Since it won't be remote we won't reach the 100% Khaled expects.
