Seems like just another way for the democrats to continue with their fraudulent voter traditions.

Dateline 2004, Riverside County, California: Massive election fraud was accomplished by means of skewing the data collected from electronic voting machines. Although there was solid proof of tampering, with no paper ballots to stop her, Superior Court Judge Sharon Waters allowed the election to stand. This is how a well-connected, self-confessed drug dealer was to become a county Supervisor.

With each locality haveing a different electronic voting machine system (at least they are not interconnected) I am not worried about trusting them..
It would have to be too big a conspiracy to really effect large scale elections.. I think it would be cost prohibitive to really effect anything but local elections..

Yes
Col.--- a lot of the public have absolutely NO CLUE to the venerability of these mechanisms and because of THAT -- have all the faith in the world that these machines are as good as it gets !! People, at large, and NOT in the know about tech gear -- a good deal of the time -- are completely running on "blind faith" in a system that proves again and again to be chopped full of fraud and flaws !!

No. Secret software can be tampered and error-prone software.
All software that is used should be open source so that it can be inspected and validated by objective third-parties. Open source software tends to be viewed by more people resulting in better security and reliability.

KOOK.... NUTBR!
J/K...
I'm sorry. Actually, I don't trust them. They should be open source, tested by many people, then approved. No networks between them either. Treat the data cards, just like a paper ballots, and no transmission to a "central tabulating computer".

I think the only ones who trust them are the ones ignorant of how vulnerable computers are and the ones who paid to have them rigged.

I seriously don't have faith in any voting method. That is just sad.
