The scale involved might make it worthwhile to print centrally. Shipping might end up costing less than buying and maintaining printing equipment for every location.

Some stores have started using digital tags, for sales and such. They're still rare, but once they become commonplace, they'll be able to change them to account for tax on the fly.
A procrastination in of itself
Check Wikipedia.[1]
It lists both the state level sales tax and the “local”, with there being a non-zero average “local” sales tax on top of the state level sales tax in all but 14 states.

I like visualizing this analogy. It conveys the weirdness nicely.
I don't think I have seen a printed tag in years, at least not at a big corporate store. It's all digital now.

Light Hacks. I liked this one more than the previous one.

I've always found the term "life hack" a bit ridiculous. It is just a "cooler", nerdier way to say "household tips", basically.

This one is scarily accurate.

It's not quite that bad. It's comparable to the state of the automobile before Ford developed the Model T (or more specifically, before he developed the production methods that made the Model T possible). You could sit down with a design team and make an electronic voting system safe, maybe even user friendly, but it would be a customized job and very expensive.

Plus, remember that computers are still shockingly new, and software programming even more so. If they were doctors, we'd still be in the leeches and mercury stage. As DeMarquis said, someone could get it done, but it would take a lot of time and money to get it done right. And why would anyone bother spending a lot of money on it when paper ballots mostly work fine? That means that anyone who says they can do safe digital voting is the lowest bidder trying to make a quick buck.

I can't actually tell if this is supposed to be a joke.

European international brands seem to handle it just fine, though.
