    Now while I don't claim to know your motivations, the fact our vote has to have transparency, should be a clear message to the people there are internal threats to our constitution, and our very existence.

    I always "refuse to put my ballot into the scanner", and force them to open the AUX tray. they empty the tray at the end of the election, (or so they say) and send it to the SOS headquarters to be scanned, I dread this shit.

    Actually the USAF is concerned about kill switches and other hidden logic built in at the doping level, and while the do play red team blue team with such devices, sadly the only way to truly find out is to destructively reverse engineer the chip. The only other way is to have 100% trust in the doping source, while maintaining 100% chain of custody.

    Meanwhile, out on the flightline, a tech sign's off that red x when the system is tested and working, "op's check good." It still doesn't mean it's working properly.

    Working correctly is meaningless with no transparency, chain of custody or public oversight.

    Also jets fly every day, electronic voting machines sat in storage, then had sleepovers. Where the machines were physically sitting in a poll worker's living room.

    The problem with electronic vote tabulation devices differs from "state secrets" when we start getting into things like "public oversight." Public oversight is impossible when humans walk into the Secretary of State's office, go through some training, then head out to their polling place with with no spectrum analyzer, meter, freq counter, or logic analyzer.

    I remind you, this is what we have now. And I am not making an argument for poll workers to have such tools, as that would be insanely stupid.

    Even if poll watchers knew basic, or assembly, or electronics, or physics, they can't be allowed to access the code or allowed into the machine while an election is live because our elections must have transparency. If you can read the code during a live election, while you might consider this partial public oversight (from a purely technical standpoint), you no longer have transparency. Transparency is essential to our elections. While you might argue you have a right to give your transparency up (ala the Astronauts), you don't have a right to force anyone else to give their transparency up. And if your reading the code, it's trivial to change the code or modify the data.

    This isn't just about code, it's also about firmware, and hardware!

    Interestingly (diebold/premier/sequoia/es&s Whatever they call themselves) tech's have reported as being allowed access to service machines during live elections.

    Electronic vote tabulation devices fail us at every step, Trust of the Doping Source, Chain of Custody, Public Oversight, and Transparency. Whoever pushes them to be allowed into our elections, clearly wants to subvert our government. While those who were accepting of such subversion early on were not fully informed, and others were clearly corrupt. There can be no excuse anymore.

    Yet know this information and still here we are with these devices subverting our elections still to this day. So called "corporate journalists" do not touch this topic. And now they want internet voting?! These people can't even publish documents on their websites correctly.

    And for the argument, "the handicapped need access to ballots so we need ballot marking devices."

    Utter nonsense, and frankly the subversive lie which has been used to stuff this cruft down our throats from the sources which are either uninformed or corrupt.

    We didn't use electronic devices in our elections in the 1700's and we don't need them today. The dilemma of you being disabled does not give you the right to subvert the entire election process by enabling invisible electronic exploits to be targeted against everyone else.

    A pollwatcher, still can't see the electronic signals in any of these devices.

    So while everyone tech savvy sit's there and argue's over open source, closed source, you ALL fail to understand or even begin to come to grips with a term and a little law called, "Public Oversight" and furthermore, "Transparency." Both of which are already available in a high tech technology called paper ballots.

    Seems to me the whole problem with the current tabs we use is overkill in the context menus on them.

    Example: why do we need an X on the tab, when you can doubleclick to close it, And right click to close it. Would it not be more simple to doubleclick the tabbar for a new tab and doubleclick the tab to close it. putting a single small pop-down menu for "open in new window" (for those javascript() problems) or undo close tab, when you get over zealous. While Bookmark the tab, Reload, etc are all redundant. Favicon should always replace the SITE
