Any election that there is a doubt is not good. When it becomes so important to have your candidate win that you will cheat then America has lost. We must do something soon to assure fair, honest, and open elections and get away from even the hint of impropriety.

Absolutely a FRAUD! The last Two elections were STOLEN by the Republicans. Diebold is a Republican allied corporation. Hundreds of thousands of votes just DISAPPEARED the night of the tally. and nobody talks about it. Research this one, Tons of info available, a Hot Topic! Internet voting would be an ideal way to reach many Americans and allow change to happen faster, we could vote often on a wide variety of topics from the local to the national level. In order for it to work, we need unbiased review. Like a public service, people would take turns to monitor the system to prevent corruption. I think it could work. Just no demand for it. Honestly, do you really think the GOVERNMENT cares what the citizens want? They just do what they have to to save face and feed the monster...

It s just a way the whiners and complainers can justify their lack of candidates that attract votes?Its like retail folks? if you have what people want, they will buy it? right?if you have old stuff they dont want, they wont buy it?? easy? thats why we wont see any changes this election?

Absolutely, we should vote absentee! It's not JUST the machines, it's also the inadequacies present the voting booths. Hundreds of people were actually TURNED AWAY at the last election, don't take that risk. Your vote is important!
Your country needs you, VOTE!

When I have proof I voted in my hand, I'll trust the machines.
When they prove to me, just a general computer user, that their programming is safe and secure I'll bite. Until then, it's the little black pen and fill in the circle.

No. they have already been shown to be companies to tampering. it fairly is acknowledged via the two political events. even nonetheless it reduces "confusion" and time, lots of folk see them as a solid investment. even nonetheless, one partisan engaged on an election committee can truthfully tamper with it.
