Can somebody mess with the software, though? That's been my biggest concern with computerized voting.

You better believe it! There have been allegations of software tampering already.

My biggest concern with computerized voting is that the masses can't possibly understand how it works, or follow any technical discussion of how it's kept secure, or of how an alleged problem is being effectively investigated. At least the masses THINK they understand the physical systems, and if they're concerned, they or someone they know can sign up to work on recounts like the Florida debacle. If they KNOW they can't understand a computerized system, they will be easily manipulated by unsavory political activists into believing that an election was "stolen", and quite possibly into reacting violently.
