Yes, a ballot box can be rigged. However, at least there is a hard copy. With electronic voting, there may be nothing to challenge the vote. Thus, there's double the chances for fraud on an electronic system as opposed to a ballot box system.

Why should I trust the government when they lie all the time?

These machines are designed to provide secure and tamperproof backup of the votes properly registered in the machine.

See my reply to MacDorcha #66 about the voting machine process. I can't help but wonder if I were to wander in a polling place with a honking powerful electro-magnet, what would happen?

which is exactly why we're republicans, we find that we can rule our selves better than the mobs can rule the whole area. best man wins..... governments should be like refs. not in the game, but keeping everyone in check in case.
