As long as paperless e voting prevails, arn't American elections meaningless charades?

Question

as long as unverifiable paperless e-voting prevails (and what is to stop it?), the United States will be, for all practical purposes, a one-party dictatorship.

Answer 1

Electronic voting machines are verifiable. The voting process is, by nature, a secret and anonymous process, so you would never be able to determine who voted for who. But the machines can be downloaded and a count taken against the number of registered voters who voted at the precinct where the voting machine was located. If you have more ballots cast than people who checked in at the polling place, then an obvious problem exists. No more "Chicago Elections" where the motto used to be "Vote Early, Vote Often!"

Answer 2

Don't even bother voting. Bush and other presidents are elected ONLY by THIS secret and evil group!...

Answer 3

well... yeah.

But to settle the question, the GOP will let a Dem in there -once- to silence the skeptics, probably one they can thwart at every move, while serving as a 'villain' that they can rally their herd against.
