I was being a bit facetious, yes. But voting electronically would solve this problem, assuming that you could trust the voting software!

Public terminals could be provided for citizens without computers/smart phones/netbooks/tablets/implants/whatever.

I imagine you've been downvoted (not by me) because it was an overly simplistic answer - it's obviously not as easy as "have everyone vote electronically". The various debacles with voting machines over the past few years have shown that you can't simply assume the software is trustworthy, let alone having people dialling in to vote on their own phone.

And the point of the article was that more technology may not always be the best solution...

The problem with electronic voting is that you cannot have both anonymous and trustworthy voting.
