Should private corporations be in charge of our electoral process?

Question

Did anyone watch "Hacking Democracy" last night? Do you right wingers who saw it still trust that our votes are being counted? Do you guys believe Diebold is an upstanding company now with no agenda?

Answer 1

Private companies, without even the feather weight oversight of public ownership guarantying the outcome of elections? This really can't be happening in the US? Must be some other place like Venezuela.

Oh, you don't say,...Diebold has a contract there too?

Answer 2

This isn't a partisan issue so just calm down. Diebold is not evil. This is just an unwise way to go about voting.

I am a conservative Republican and I agree with you.

I don't think that these computers are easily hacked but I do think they screw up a lot. Or the people operating them do.

A voting machine should never have to be plugged in.

I like the old mechanical ones. They are cheat proof and last 50 years.

Answer 3

Isn't your system badly enough flawed with hanging chads and whatever that you need to turn it over to for profit corporations?

Not saying that ours is any better, but if the people can't establish an electoral system with its own checks and safeguards then maybe it's time to call in International Observers, just like we send to other countries.

Answer 4

Actually we should just scrap elections (only the crooks ever get in), and choose representatives by a lottery instead.

Answer 5

I believe Florida has the answer to that. Yes the vote's we're counted by A REPUBLICAN OWNED COMPANY in florida, it's true.

Answer 6

LMAO I thought you said your lying party was going to win and now before the election you are already blaming the voting machines LMAO pathetic conspiracy theorist

Answer 7

Of course they shouldn't.

Answer 8

Hell no.............graft is too easy to do..............
