Sure. I am not a fan of electronic voting either. Paper based voting is fine, because anyone can understand and audit it in principle. Auditing electronic voting is at least as hard as debugging.
If the general population can understand the inner workings of democracy, they are probably much more likely to embrace it.
(Though still, electronic voting and free form ballots are completely unconnected.)
Oh, you mean connected as in having with each other to do, not as in having the results connected to some central authority for quick counting. Sorry, I misunderstood you. :-)
