Not quite true. Theoretically it is possible to design trusted electronic
voting machines. Correctness of can be mathematically proven. Such proof can
be review by the political parties and the parties will be allowed to
monitor construction of the machines. Authentication codes can even be used
to guarantee that results are not tampered with when they are electronically
transmitted back from the polling stations. See

And electronic voting machines will greatly reduce spoilt ballots (ink
smudges etc).
