If not, why not? How about Yahoo, Diebold, Raytheon, Boeing, or Lockheed Martin?
Should the US government hire the one who gives the lowest bid?
All these companies are capable of delivering.

If they are transparent about how the operations work, yes. The only problem I have with Diebold is their resistence to verification that the machines are working correctly.

I would be comfortable using an e-voting machine made by Diebold or Google (who says Google is a liberal company?).... Unlike many older liberals I am not afraid of technology. People that whine about not getting a "paper trail" seem to forget that all voting in the US is anonymous and there has never been a paper trail....

I don't feel comfortable using any e voting machine that won't have a printer attached to it to insure the integrity of our democratic elections. However, I'd feel more confident if it was made by liberals. Unfortunately the whole e-voting system has been pimped and promoted by the neo-cons who have held onto power since Bush stole the first election in 2000, and that really scares me. Seems to me that Bush has not said a word about e voting because he knows it will make it easier for his administration to rig yet another election. Liberal or not, e voting is stupid and ripe with allegations of corruption. Until it's fixed we will never know if our votes really count. Still, I will take a chance and vote out the right wing loving neo-cons who have systematically destroyed our country for the last 6 years.

Are you suggesting that the liberals would rig the machines in favor of themselves? I thought only Republicans would do such a thing. I thought we did give the business to the lowest bid. I'm sure liberals are screaming about the extra expense at hiring Google as we speak. They ARE the honorable party, right?

An HONEST count 100%, 100% of the time is needed, AND POSSIBLE. But your point is well taken that Repukes are not willing to hand THEIR vote to someone they might remotely suspect of bias. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!

No, not at all. I have witnesses too many democrats stuffing the ballots as it it -- yes, I saw it first hand and turned in the pictures to prove it.

Does it really matter who counts the votes if popular votes does not elect?
