No. We don't actually have a comprehensive 'system,' everybody does it differently, and there is no reliable oversight. But, we all need to vote! The only way changes will happen is if we demand them!
Ask for a paper ballot at your polling place; you can fill out a form to cast your votes instead of using a machine. Take a picture of it with your camera or cell phone after you've filled it out. If they tell you they've run out of paper ballots and you have to use a machine, take pictures of the screens as you register your selections. If any questions about the votes in your area come up, then you have a record of how you voted. If enough people do this, we can keep our elections honest.

Generally, yes, although an appalling number of errors occur. It's estimated that about 1% of Americans couldn't follow the voting instructions in 1996, and 2000. I don't have figures for 2004.
A cynical person might say that these people should NOT vote.

I do trust the people at the polls- I am one of those!
I work to help you VOTE and that area is very secure.
however, it is my belief that higher up the food chain [high offices mostly], and the electoral college issue is when all the actually numbers are changed so suit the highest bidder.
Sorry- the system is flawed. but we work hard on the ground level.

properly rattling, using fact the vote casting gadget we've been employing for over 200 years isn't working and each physique in different international locations thinks we lack integrity, enable's merely ignore the damned election and flow stay in certainly one of those different international locations and we will all be lots happier and the solar will shine and there'll be birds making a music and we will all stress little small autos and sing Kumbaya. You adult males are so humorous. You act as though the international merely began some years in the past on the beginning up of the 2000 election. The screwed up area is that some each and every physique is too stupid to pay attention, examine, and save on with guidelines whilst casting a poll. there is not any longer something incorrect with our gadget. there is truthfully something incorrect with somebody who turns his back on his very own u . s . and has a similar opinion with some foreigner that his u . s . is without "integrity". Hell Hitler had "integrity", he believed, lived, and died for what he believed in. Get a fact examine, Dude.

Which one?
The collegic system that allows a president to be elected despite the fact that they did not win popular vote?
The system that keeps career politicians in office, and leaves little room for non-like-minded career politicians who basically work for big business?
Or the new electronic voting systems that have major security holes and is run by the owner of Diebold who is one of those wealthy big business owners and a staunch Republican who has commented with no uncertain terms that he will do *anything* to ensure that Republicans stay in power.

Lately I haven't had much trust in any of our systems, Our govmt. is corrupt, the police is corrupt,the judicial system is corrupt. I's a power game between the big boys. Face it the judicial system is about the next to be big attorney who can find a loop in the system, it's not about justice or doing the right thing. Those in power and with money can twist just about anhything. No one cares about standing up to do the right thing anymore! And our world is hurting for it!

You should wait til after the upcoming elections to ask this, if the dems win then they will say it is ok, if they lose then they were cheated.
