And our good, old friend Electronic Voting...:

"Polling stations using electronic voting systems suffered more voting 
discrepancies than polling stations using traditional paper votes in four 
recent French elections,
according to a study sponsored by two groups campaigning for free and 
transparent elections.

Chantal Enguehard, a researcher at the University of Nantes specializing in 
electronic voting,
looked at discrepancies between the number of electors who signed the electoral 
register to confirm that they voted and the number of votes subsequently 
counted for each polling station.
The study compared discrepancies at 6,427 polling stations using electronic 
voting machines and 14,624 using paper ballots, in both rounds of the 2007 
presidential election and two subsequent elections. "
