1. I read about lever machines years ago

when about the only thing out there was the Black Box Voting book. They may not have a paper trail, but on the other hand they seem pretty hard to hack.

2. As long as the totals from the lever machines are recorded before

the paperless pieces of crap leave the polling place, paperless voting MUST GO! If we use our COMMON SENSE.

Common sense, whether it be optical scanned or otherwise the ballots must always be hand counted by the people before the paper ballots LEAVE THE POLLING PLACE its Common F-ck-ng Sense.

Everyone knows this.

3. Well, you seem to half agree and half disagree with what I said, so I am pretty confused.

That is not an uncommon occurrence..... ;)

4. The votes ARE counted before the machines leave the polling place.

The paper record of the tally, in triplicate, is rechecked later but ultimately it has to agree with the election night tally or there has to be a damn good reason why it doesn't.
