NYT Says Paperless Voting A Serious Problem
joshdick writes "In an editorial today, the NYTimes comes out strongly in favor of a paper trail for all elections, supporting a recent lobbying effort by Common Cause and the Electronic Frontier Foundation to pass H.R. 550. 'Electronic voting has been rolled out nationwide without necessary safeguards. The machines' computers can be programmed to steal votes from one candidate and give them to another. There are also many ways hackers can break in to tamper with the count. Polls show that many Americans do not trust electronic voting in its current form; such doubts are a serious problem in a democracy.'"
It doesnt matter how the votes were cast.
It doesnt matter how the votes were collected.
It only mattered who counted the votes.
1750+ fraudulant votes in election where the winner and looser were seperated by 120 votes don't matter.
If you live in Washington state, next time you go to vote, go ahead and vote a few times. The state doesnt care.
What's your name I'll tell you who you voted for?
