Same here in Spain. The system has always worked, recounts are simple and fast, and there is no need for electronic fireworks at all.
From what I saw of eDemocracy at a previous job, electronic machines if anything turn people down. Biggest European success story so far was some 2000 participants in a large scale test for the city of Hamburg, of which only about 1000 had sent more than a message. In a Barcelona trial at about the same time, only 50 or 100 people showed up.
US people, if you want simpler election processes, simplify your election processes. There are no shortcuts; machines will not help you there.
