Maybe, but the 2000 Presidential election exposed just how much fraud was possible with paper systems, so they were trying something new; if only to look like they took the problem seriously.

Quit drinking the cool-aid. There is potential for fraud in ANY voting system. The potential using Electronic Voting Machines is actually significantly LESS than with paper ballots.

If they don't create a paper record of the vote? Really stupid.
If they do create a paper record of the vote, I think they're a great idea because they would probably reduce the number of spoiled ballots from people who didn't use the right kind of mark or something, and the initial counts would come in as fast as people could vote, then humans could count the paper ballots in a leisurely manner to make sure they get the same number.

Chads are to confusing for some people in this country. I'm surprised they want the government voting for them. They would like the government to do everything else for them.

you mean like the "hanging chad" situation in the 2000 presidential elections? or like the ballot box stuffing that occurs in many other elections? fraud will exist while people can be corrupted.

Oh and that's so much worse than the Florida fiasco when Bush got illegally elected the first time.

What's it matter. Don't you know we're getting brainwashed for Hillary. It's all a show!
