Why do we have voting machines without paper trails?

Answer 1

All three companies that make voting machines have sued to maintain their secrecy. Recently, North Carolina passed a law requiring that electronic voting machines must provide paper copies of votes that can be recounted for confirmation. As a result, Diebold is buying back their machines and refuses to let them be used?

What does that say?

Answer 2

So the democrats can make the illegal immigrants vote for them. they are the ones who are fighting for "no paper work needed when going to vote" They dont even want to require people to present any indentification.

Sorry Spike and Ron.AND no one cheated their way into the white house. Do a little research on a group called the Electoral College (ELECTORAL COLLEGE I SAID) and maybe u'll learn something of value

Answer 3

sparky2003 hit the nail on the head! Paper trails leave...uhhh, paper trails, which can be used to actually, physically COUNT the votes, and truly determine who won the election.
Bush wouldn't like that at all! -RKO-

Answer 4

setting aside the conspiracy stuff, I cannot belive that any state would/does allow it. It just makes no sense to have no way to verify results from an election. Those sales guys from the voting maching companies are good!

Of course, this is the same gov't (both sides) that say we can secure our border with "virtual technology"

Answer 5

you understand i hate nationalizing almost some thing yet i imagine that it truly is one ingredient that should be an similar everywhere. One kind of balloting gadget and per chance the contract can be a composite of a few businesses so no one business enterprise has any shady dealings. And sure a paper path is purely nescessary.

Answer 6

Because it's easier for "someone" to cheat their way into the white house!

Without them GWB would not be president!

Answer 7

It's easier to rig the election?

Answer 8

So that People can fix elections.
