I do not trust the paperless voting machines.
Each electronic voting machine needs to produce a receipt upon your completion of your voting.
You should then be able to review that receipt before placing it in a voting box.
The electronic voting will tally the numbers on the fly as they do now, but in any case of a challenge of the numbers they should be able to go to that box with all of the receipts and get the exact same count as they got electronically.

50/50. I think I will vote in the next primary on a voting machine, but for the November 2008, I will vote by absentee ballot. I don't know what else to do to make sure my vote will be counted accurately.

No one should. Ask yourself this question. Why would you not want to have a paper trail or a way to count the votes over with these machines. There is only one logical answer and that is so you can cheat

Not really. So far it appears that the paper trail is more reliable. There is always something happening to the machines which makes votes invalid.

I dunno about USA m/c but in India these machines have done very well.A large % of votes were illegal coz ppl stamped manually in wrong places on paper. with dis one not a single vote is wasted.Also the counting can b done very fast.BUT i don't trust elections themself in USA..

no, i used to work in the area of voter fraud.. some of the stories i have heard are quite frightening... however, that does not mean don't vote... just be aware... it is not blatant, and where it can be, things are being fixed...

Excellent question. I'm sure they still know what you vote, even though its supposed to be confidential.
