I'm convinced that the lack of action and the direction taken to provide unverifiable voting is bigger than either Party. It comes down to a belief by the elite that every American citizen having a vote may not be a good thing (for them).
We should have paper ballots with purple ink as they have in Iraq and elsewhere. The importance is having accurate voting, with evidence and a hard record, and not some black box that provides speedier election results.
To quote Brad Blog:
For the record, as we've noted many times in the past, we are unaware of a single piece of evidence that exists to show that any vote, for any candidate or initiative on the ballot in any election, anywhere at any time, has ever been counted accurately, as per any voter's intent, on any Direct Recording Electronic (DRE, commonly: "touch-screen") voting machine.
In other words there is no evidence that your vote has ever gone where you wanted it.
