Verifiable Paper Ballot

While I can understand why officials would want to go towards electronic voting, having a paper trail is crucial. It allows the results to be verified. I can't understand how hard it is to come up with an easy system for electronic voting.

I'm in the tech field by trade and after discussing ideas with my colleagues we came up with a verifiable system for electronic voting that cuts out any possibility of vote tampering and allows the results to be verified over a lunch break a few weeks back. Why can't large corporations such as Diebold do the same? Our voting rights are at the core of the freedoms that we enjoy. We can't afford to screw that up.
