Interview with Voting Machine Company Reps

laupsavid writes "Here's an interesting interview with government and industry reps on the Black_Box_Voting site. I think it's funny (yet terrifying), almost like an extended Shark-Tank Unclear on the Concept item. They interview Paul Miller, Registration and Systems Manager of the Office of the Secretary of State. Black Box Voting is dedicated to informing people of reasons to reject electronic voting systems. I believe Bev Harris runs the site, and she claims to be an expert on accounting fraud. Also, see this area of the a site called Ecotalk for a list of instances of purported fraud by electronic voting."

Why machines at all?

What's wrong with a pencil and paper ballot system. If the polls are properly counted, there's no possibility, other than minor statistical error, for fraud in the voting system. Of course, if the ballots are thrown away in an attempt to swing the vote you have a bigger problem than errors associated with voting machines. If Floridians had used a paper and pencil ballot, we wouldn't currently be subjected to the lunacy of the boy king they call President, because the Supreme Court wouldn't have had the chance to subvert voter intentions and hand the presidency to the jackass that some regard as presidential material -- and not part time swing manager at Chucky Cheese.

Does anyone, other than Americans, use voting machines?
