I was commenting on the impression I get from reading comments here, on Twitter, blog posts etc. When the topic used to come up, for example in response to the Florida fiasco in the election of 2000, the response was almost universally negative. That seems to have changed somewhat, with many more people willing to advocate complicated technical solutions.

This report, and others by professional organizations like the EFF still follow the old consensus, possibly because they are run by people socialized in that environment. But I’m worried what such reports will say in 2030 if the arguments I made above are not universally understood.
