Apparently the cost associated with electronic voting booths is very high which is a cause for concern in some of the smaller districts in the US,
The price tag for the 2008 presidential election in Colorado eclipsed the amount spent in 2004, and in one county ran as high as $36.57 per vote.
Primarily, the costs are associated with all the regulations that have been imposed to ‘secure’ the electronic voting machines which include video surveillance, administrative and infrastructure overhead.
The cost of doing internet/telephone voting is peanuts to this.
