I gotta say that that's a remarkably short sighted viewpoint you have.
Regardless of what age group it currently favors you should remember that electronic voting systems are
far far more easily spoofed than paper ballots. Remove the "paper trail" and you're basically handing the state (or anyone else with the techical savvy) the ability to instantly and untraceably alter the results of an election.
I'm not saying that paper ballots cannot be "stuffed" as they say, but it takes a lot more effort and it's a lot harder to conceal.
