E-voting State By State

jcatcw writes "One-third of Americans will use voting machines next week that have never before served in a general election. Computerworld.com provides an overview of e-voting in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia — equipment, systems for voter registration, polling, significant legal challenges to the systems, previous media coverage, links to government watchdog sites, the vendors, technologies and laws that are important to the issue, and a review of 'Hacking Democracy.'"

  1. Voter fraud is nothing new by BadAnalogyGuy · · Score: 0, Troll

    In the middle years of America's history, elections were rigged by parties like Tammany hall through voter coercion and having supporters vote several times in several different districts (or multiple times at a single poll). Now we can rig elections without having to force anyone to do anything. No one is under threat of pain or death for failing to 'vote early and often'. Rather, it's all kept behind the scenes inside microchips that don't care one way or another who wins as long as they run their programs correctly.

    You may say you want 'fair' elections, but you don't really want a return to the bad old days, do you?
