E-Voting: a Flawed Solution in Search of a Problem
blorg writes "In the promised follow-up to last-week's I, Cringely column on E-Voting (discussed on Slashdot here), Robert X. Cringely discusses his proposed solution to the electronic voting mess. The ideas in this piece have all appeared already on Slashdot, but this stands as a well-argued condensation of them into a single article.
In the article, he looks briefly at possible solutions for the auditability problem but ultimately argues that technology introduces more problems into elections than it solves. Instead, he suggests that elections can be run quicker, cheaper and fairer using the paper-based Canadian model."
It's also the British model, and I suspect a lot of other countries use it. Perhaps the USA doesn't because it's too hard for them to understand....

Newslfash you ignorant twat, gerrymandering has been going on for a long, long time. You liberal asses didn't seem to have much of a problem doing it when you had a majority and you were doing the gerrymandering. Republicans finally get a majority and start to do it and you throw a damn fit. What's good for the gander is good for the goose. It's the Republican's turn to draw district lines. Deal with it.
Canada's making us look bad...solution: Bomb Canada, invade and steal it's natural resources, pollute the rest but give them a tax cut.
