I love it!

The only problem with a system like that is it will never fly with the
american public who can't move into the 20th century (yes I know we're in
the 21st), because we might leave some old tard behind.  (I love my grandma)
(:  But seriously, election officials would have to hand hold people through
the process of getting registered and understanding how to enter their
numbers.  Which would lead to public outcry to allow for paper ballots which
would then allow fraud.  QED.
