You mean the "If voting could really change things, it would be illegal"-Diebold?

Diebold is run by good people

Christians, moral people who support our President in the war on terror.

ELF and the other socialists should leave them alone, they would never do any thing like alter votes for goodness sake!

Electronic voting is coming, and I'd sure rather trust it to good, honest Christian Anericans who believe in absolutes like right and wrong than to a-moral atheists or some foreign company!

This is why Open Source Electronic Voting would be safer, because even though your Grandma and even you would not be able to check all the 100,000 lines of code it still would be available for the different political parties to check themselves and THEY have a good incentive to make sure the system is fair, or at least not biased against them, with the opposite party making sure it isn't biased against them...

That's fine for the two major parties, and perhaps even for the larger minor parties. What about J. Upstanding Independent, who has two other people on his campaign staff, neither of whom are geeks? How is he supposed to verify that the machines aren't biased against him and in favor of his opponents, Corrupt X. Republican and Y. Bribed Democrat?
