Voting problems already…

DieboldThink we don't need Paper receipts or paper registers for vote for New Diebold Touch Screens? Think again

It amazes me that people can get a receipt for a piece of chewing gum, but not for a voting machine. Just about Every cash register in America has two rolls: One for the customer receipt, another for records for possible audit and confirmation.

This is exactly how elections will get stolen, by using these computers that have no proper auditing or any accountability to speak of. In the states that use these today, there is no accurate way to determine if the votes have been manipulated. I bet they don't even have procedures in place to recover data from smashed devices.

If New York State ever uses these machines, I'll insist on a Paper Ballot or absentee ballot.

Music I'm listening to right Now:

"I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco from "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out".
